All,
Unfortunately, the Sports Committee's motion to relocate the adults-only section of the pool did not pass the House Committee. Additionally, a gag order has been placed on those committee members, so we have no idea what happens next.
You should know that the House Committee is NOT representative of the membership base at Westwood. It is comprised of eleven men. The Sports Committee was a more accurate reflection of the membership base and they did pass a motion to relocate the adults-only section of the pool. Again: the motion was not to remove the adults-only section of the pool, simply relocate it.
At a minimum, I would expect to receive a notification from the Board President describing exactly what this means and what next steps are. We must demand transparency into how these decisions are getting made and what the next steps are in this process. We will work on a plan for how this organized group can keep the pressure on. More information to come.
In the meantime, we highly encourage you to reach out to the Board of Directors and the House Committee members to express your displeasure with today's decision. Their email addresses can be found below (sans one or two that could not be found in the directory).
