The Board of Directors of the Big Canoe Property Owners Association made the decision to turn over operations of Big Canoe to Bobby Jones Golf.  This was announced to the community one week before 3 new directors are to be seated.  There was no disclosure to toe community that this was under consideration.  There was no public meetings or comments.  While it may be a good decision, the way it was handled is totally inappropriate and lacked any transparency to the membership.

In accordance with the Third Amended and Restated By-Laws of the Big Canoe Property Owners Association, Inc, dated April 19, 2018, the  members in good standing signing this petition demand the removal of Jay Goldman, Wayne Crawford, Dudley Devore, Lou Stephenson and Jim Fairholt from the Board of Directors of the Big Canoe Property Owners Association.  The Secretary of the Board of Directors is required to act upon this petition upon receipt in accordance with section 3.10 of the By-Laws as shown below.
