The Indian Hammock 2024 Board of Directors voted and approved the construction of a Quail Barn on the club’s common ground.
Quail Hunters will finance the project entirely, and Indian Hammock will incur no costs.
Six of the seven board members attended the Board Meeting on May 19, 2024.
Four members voted YES, approving the Quail Barn (A Team), while two voted NO, disapproving it (B Team).
The Quail Barn was built, and a “quail barn war” started in Indian Hammock.
The B Team and its supporters launched a campaign to win the upcoming election and divided the candidates for the 2025 board into two lists.
The “Bad Boys” – not to vote for.
Any candidate B Team believes supports the Quail Barn.
The “Good Boys” – to vote for.
Any candidate that was not on the “Bad Boy” list.
The B Team and its supporters emerged victorious.
The 2025 Board has no members listed on the “Bad Boy” list. Instead, it consists solely of members from the “Good Boys” list.
The B Team controls the new 2025 Board.
During the February 15th Hunting Committee Meeting, the two members of the B Team made strong statements when challenged by members from the floor.
I remember these two statements.
* Barbara Roberts – The current Board can do whatever it decides.
* Carla Sapp – You can sue us; we are insured.
I can only hope that the B Team will chill out and realise the slippery slope they are on.
The two members of the B Team and their supporters are upset that the four members of the A Team did not hold a membership meeting to vote on and approve the Quail Barn by a regular majority.
The B Team and its supporters argue that the A Team did not uphold the spirit and tradition of Indian Hammock when approving the Quail Barn.
They might be right, or they might be wrong; it no longer matters.
The election is over, and the B Team and its supporters can relish the glory of victory. Now, we must focus on what is best for Indian Hammock.
The B Team does not assert that the A Team breached the club documents; anyone pursuing this case in court can not succeed on this point.
A board of directors lasts only twelve months, yet its decisions and actions bind the club. Consequently, the club legally approves the Quail Barn.
Any call to re-approve what has already been approved does not make sense and only raises questions about what the B Team is after.
The 2025 Board called for a special members’ meeting, but then someone from the office emailed to advise that it had been canceled.
* The language of the email notice to members regarding the March 2025 Special Members Meeting is lacking.
* The single motion for the March 2025 Special Members Meeting is unclear.
* The wording of the email notice about canceling the March 2025 Members Meeting raises concerns.
* The reasons given for the cancellation make no sense.
I encourage members to request that the B Team be transparent with the club members and end this divisive and dangerous agenda.

I truly appreciate the way your mind works! Very concise and understandable email. I enjoyed reading it and I also hope that we can find common ground in the Hammock once again. I disagree that the board “can do whatever it wants”. There are laws and rules set in place that say otherwise. Hoping we can find a way to bring the Hammock back to the peaceful place it has been with neighbors helping one another instead of fighting with one another. This beautiful property has amenities for almost every interest: hunting, fishing, riding, sporting clays, swimming, playing pickleball, working out in the fitness center, flying, and just enjoying the beauty of the nature that is all around us. The divisiveness and dishonesty that has occurred must end. It’s time for the Hammock to return to being a place where we can relax and enjoy what we have.

The confusion around the “special meeting” was intentional to mislead B Team supporters. This board aims to push a narrative, hoping their supporters won’t question it. Similarly, they fabricated the lie about HOA fees rising to $1000 to gain votes and secure power. Let’s see what happens to our fees and the Club under this new board.
If current events are any indication, things are not looking good. We’ve regressed to the 1800s, where they prefer to control every movement without transparency.
Has anyone else noticed the difference in transparency between the boards? We’re literally back in the dark ages.
And not to mention the nepotism… Can we spell “CONFLICT OF INTEREST?” SHOULDN’T SOMEONE BE RESIGNING???
Is the wife now the husbands boss? How does that work? I would hate to be in that house at night!

I STRONGLY DISAGREE WITH YOUR PREMISS! AS A FORMER BOARD MEMBER I HAVE WATCHED AS BOARD MEMBERS PUT THEIR PERSONAL PREFERENCES ASIDE AND VOTED IN THE BEST INTEREST OF INDIAN HAMMOCK. IT IS A MORAL OBLIGATION. ANYTHING LESS DIMISHES YOUR CHARACTER AND HOW OTHER PEOPLE SEE YOU.
THANK YOU, DAVE SCHARF 223

Thank you, Dave Scharf.
Sometimes board members negotiate and trade their agendas and interests, as any “politician” does. I respect your positive views and beliefs, even if I don’t share them.
