>> Thanks for the additional information you have provided.
>>
>> It is the lack of transparency and secrecy surrounding the discussions and
>> decision on the K School in Damodar Gardens that does not help anyone,
>> especially the members of TS.
>>
>> Damodar Gardens is TS property acquired from the donations of several
>> ordinary TS members and specifically meant for the activities of
>> Theosophical Society.
>>
>> For all said and done, everyone in Chennai knows K School caters to the
>> kids of super rich and the fat cats in Chennai who support the school can
>> surely find alternative location.
>>
>> Expansion of the Olcott memorial school vocational program is the best
>> thing that can happen to the poor and needy kids from the fisherman
>> community in Adyar who will benefit.
>>
>> K School knew for quite some time that the lease expires in 2014 and why
>> they want till 2016 to move out needs explanation.
>>
>> Also if any documents and proposals were presented to the GC members as
>> part of the push by K School supporters to continue the K school in Damodar
>> Gardens, why not make them available for everyone to see so that we all can
>> come to our own conclusions. We can also see any spinning the supporters
>> tried to do.
>>
>> In all matters where money and property are involved, all kinds of politics
>> automatically gets into it. TS is no exception.
>>
>> Also, it is the lack of transparency of the GC meetings that makes members
>> to take everything with a grain of salt, after all that happened since the
>> last International Election especially the failed ultra secret attempt by a
>> quartet from the West to disenfranchise all the members around the world
>> and seize control of the President.
>>
>> Anyone having more info on the topic is welcome to post it here or can
>> email me off list.
