Frankly Speaking by Vice President Frank Cornish

Note: Due to circumstances beyond our control, this did not appear in the March issue of the UCO Reporter
Here we are in February, UCO elections are right around the corner, March 5th to be exact. By the time you read this, it will be a few short weeks to that date, when hopefully, your Association will be represented. Your designated "Delegate(s)" will cast their "Owners’" choice of Candidates running for Office from: President, two (2) Vice Presidents, Treasurer, Recording and Corresponding Secretaries, and last, but not least, twenty (20) Executive Board Members (out of twenty-eight (28); eight (8) can be appointed by the presiding President) who will meet, discuss and bring recommendations to the monthly Delegate Assembly Meeting, for their decision to accept and implement or reject.
I have had the privilege of serving these past two (2) years, which have flown by and have achieved most of which I set out to do, as many of you are now enjoying.
Improved Transportation, our number one priority; Repairs of Lifts at Hastings, Duck Island (which too was a project of former VP Howie Silver), the Pools at the Clubhouse, Camden, Hastings were restored; furniture was replaced at the Clubhouse and all of the smaller pools — some such as Kent still need attention; and as funds become available in the future, they too will have new chairs, lounges, tables and umbrellas.
We are attempting to make arrangements for recycling our unusable furniture (perhaps a 50/50 split, to be used for future purchases).
Karaoke and Sing-a-long, which operate all year long, have given many of our residents an opportunity to entertain, be entertained and socialize. All of the Services, which fell under my supervision, have been evaluated and improved, where possible; none of which could have been accomplished without the co-operation and dedication of the following, to whom I offer my thanks: UCO Board Members, staff and volunteers; Anita Cruz, VP, and the staff at WPRF; and my wife, Barbara.
In closing, I urge each Association to "Cast Their Ballot" on Friday, March 5, 2010, beginning at 8:30 a.m., prior to the Delegate Assembly Meeting, and join in with the rest of the community at the Annual Installation Luncheon (see Mary Patrick). Looking forward to serving you for another term.

  1. Perhaps the UCO Bulletin can have
    this column printed, for distribution to all of our residents...Not everyone has access to a computer or views 63
    (if this will appear there)
    ..It's difficult to believe this VP's column,"VANISHED" into THIN AIR, while others, along with the Reporter's "FAVOURITE" Contributors
    found placement..Can the reporter
    also explain, the difference in the
    depth of color, of the other
    PAID POLITICAL ADS, AND THIS VP'S?
    Perhaps we need a NEW Printing Source in addition to a COMPLETE
    REVAMPING OF THE EDITORIAL BOARD.

  2. Please keep in mind that the Reporter could not hope to fuction as properly as it could with Irv Lazzar. He was a powerful force in that publication, and Dot is doing the job of two people. It can't be easy, and errors and inadequacies become more likely with one less pair of trained eyes (and hands). Just a thought.

    We all know the positive impact that Frank's efforts have had on the Community, but with such a plentiful candidate field, every little bit of positive publicity is necessary to ensure his re-election.

  3. You have our association vote Fank. As I stated in another comment the problem with Frank's column being left out is a conflict of interest with Dot. She is running for VP as well. In George's column he said is was against 'bashing' then Dot puts in Myron's Musing. He is part of the old George group and loves to sue. We need Dot out of UCO Reporter as she is completed biased and hopefully not a VP. With her as a VP it will just be more of George and we've had enough of him!
