Club Vagabundos del Mar financial problems?

BajaVagabundo - 9-15-2018 at 08:37 PM

I'm hearing rumors about the club under duress from financial manipulation and abuse by Fred and Gloria Jones. Apparently there is a fight within the board of directors to remove the Jones clan from the payroll and management. Can anyone substantiate this?

Have not heard. I know this summer a new prez, vice prez and some new directors were put in place. Fred and Gloria still in management...

I no longer belong to the club (I have to think their membership has declined dramatically, over the years, with the steep decline in fishing in the Sea), but those Joneses sure made a lot of trips everywhere, and then wrote up about it. I wonder if they were getting money out of the club for these excursions?

I just lost interest in their newsletter AND you could get the same insurance deals on line, without membership.
