Dear :

This email contains a brief overview of new information since our last newsletter. To help keep this briefing short and simple, we have provided a few links to the web site for those who desire expanded information.

LITIGATION: The Club still remains active in four lawsuits, all accessible on our Litigation page.

CLUB OFFICER SHUFFLE: On May 3rd, the Club’s newly-promoted Vice President, Greg Worley, sent an email announcing that Treasurer Andrew Bilukha had verbally resigned and had been replaced on May 2nd. This is an odd and unexpected resignation because Bilukha just ran for re-election a couple months earlier. It’s stranger still because Bilukha – who is not known for silence – had nothing to say for himself to the membership. Remember last year where the membership elected five Board Members for full terms, but within three months, two had resigned and been replaced by Board vote with no advance notice to the membership? Yes, the By-Laws allow the Board to elect replacements to fill interim vacancies, but the occurrence of four no-notice replacements in two years implicates leadership instability within the Club. Since the leadership had previously pledged transparency to the membership, it seems they should have informed the membership of these vacancies in advance of any Board election and solicited candidates before taking further action. It is also conspicuous that Bilukha’s resignation triggered the Board to move Tor Holm from Vice President to Treasurer, move Greg Worley from non-officer Board member to Vice President, while simultaneously electing a very new Club member to replace Worley’s non-officer Board member position. It would seem this leadership really wants to cover the officer positions, and the Treasurer position in particular, only with its trusted agents.

TREASURER PERFORMANCE ISSUES: The membership will probably never know if there’s more to Andrew Bilukha’s resignation and the resulting May 2nd officer shuffle, but there are more than a few considerations, including:

  1. Bilukha spent $4,000 of Club money last year for a “forensic accountant” but no report or information from that engagement has ever been distributed to the membership;
  2. During the January 11, 2021 membership meeting, Bilukha claimed he could not recall the name of the accountant and committed to provide it later, but apparently never did;
  3. Seconds later, Bilukha announced he would no longer provide monthly balance sheets;
  4. The Club’s Annual Report was not filed with the State of Florida by Bilukha by the deadline of May 1, 2021. Tor Holm filed it 12 days late, presumably with penalties, on May 12, 2021; and
  5. Tor Holm has no previously-disclosed accounting experience that would assist him in a Treasurer role, another indication the shuffle may have occurred for undisclosed reasons.
