I understand that B Sabri and PPL are gathering the troops for a take over
of the Ventura Village Neighborhood orgainzation at the next annual meeting.
The last count I had was around 200 people. I hope that whatever happens,
the people who are not re-elected to the board continue to participate so
that the organization survives as a democratic institution. Although I don't
like Sabri's tactics, if his followers operate within the boundaries of the
bylaws, then the board ought to accept the decision. Neighborhood
organizations should be fluid and constantly changing so as to keep updated
with the times. I think in this instance, the neighborhood is on the right
track because of the diligence and dedication of the current members and
that should not be forgotten; now it's time to step aside and let new blood
see what they can do. Also, no matter who is on the board, they will have to
continue to contend with Grahms and others who will make them dot their I's
and cross their T's.
