[WSBARP] Timeshare woes

[Mark Higgins]

Eric--Read the charter documents to see how to liquidate and then threaten
to mount a drive to gain enough votes to liquidate and sell the resort.  On
liquidation/sale all members would likely receive a check.  Maybe​ there
are enough votes in the unhappy population of members to make this a real
threat to the happy members.  Maybe the organization or happy members would
rather take out your client than risk what might happen if liquidation were
put to a vote.
