HOA Power...?

Since I moved to this community, my husband and I have gone to two HOA meetings. Very interesting.
The first one, in March, turned into an angry free-for-all. Soon after three of the Board members resigned.
Another meeting was scheduled for April, with a Board of Directors meeting scheduled for  the week before. We decided to attend the Board meeting first to find out if they were going to appoint replacements for the Directors who had resigned. We showed up at the clubhouse at the designated hour per public notice. No one was there. Another couple also showed up and had no idea what was going on. She called a friend on the Board and found out that they had moved the meeting to earlier in the day. Bad move. It's not only against the HOA Bylaws, it's also against the State Sunshine Laws. I emailed the former president, who had resigned, and asked him if he had heard what had happened. He had but felt I was trying to solicit him for action. I assured him I wasn't, and left it at that. We went to the scheduled members meeting to see what if anything was said. Silence. Since it was the last meeting of the Season, I decided to wait and see what I could find out during the summer from the full-time residents who very seldom are seen out and about while the snowbirds are visiting. Stay tuned.
