Has Former Sun City Anthem Board Director
Nona Tobin
Provided Proof
of
Board Illegally Refusing Her Access to Information to which she was entitled?
In light of the recent action taken by the Office of the Ombudsman in clarifying the ability of obtaining Association information that by law, all residents are entitled to receive, former Director Nona Tobin has sent us documented evidence of the correspondence in which various documents she requested, were denied.
This is the actual correspondence that took place.
After you have read this material, ask yourself this question:
Did the attempt to obtain such information result in an attempt by the current Sun City Anthem Board and General Manager with the likely assistance of a new Association attorney CONSPIRE TO REMOVE HER?
She states that No directors were present.
The GM refused to talk to her when she attempted to see her on 7/13/17, and the Community Association Manager told her that a director, could not see anything...
... not the tax returns, the transition plans to self-management, the job descriptions, NOTHING, unless the attorney approved it.
Then, they held an "emergency" executive session less than two hours later and issued a cease & desist letter signed by Adam Clarkson threatening her.
This was the first of many such threatening letters which Clarkson said were "attorney-client confidential" and that she could not waive privilege.

From Mary Lee Duley (former Sun City Anthem resident)...to...Anthem Opinions
I sincerely HOPE that ALL read the Anthem Opinions correspondence of Nona that you shared, BUT the community doesn’t really seem to care about the way facts are distorted by Berman OR the way the community is run or the Hidden costs….pretty sad. -
From Barbara Sidary...to...Anthem Opinions
I want to let you know that, as usual, your blog always tells it like it is. I appreciate it.
I would like your opinion as to who to vote for in the upcoming election as I am not sure who will do the right job.
Can't vote for Nona as she isn't even being allowed to run.
I had a run-in with Danielle (Bartle of the Sun City Anthem Activities Department) a few weeks ago.
She was trying to tell our Sunday pan game that "if we wanted to continue to play" we would have to sit in certain tables in the gallery.
I went in and spoke with her and told her that clubs have first priority but any empty tables were available for drop-in play.
After she understood that the canasta club didn't have the right to tell us that we were in their way since there were several empty tables, she changed her tune.
When I got home I wrote her an email thanking her for her time.
The Monday after that, I was playing in the pan club and Danielle came over to our table to tell me that she had spoken with Maurice (the guy that had her job before her and I have several unpleasant conversations with) and said that Maurice told her to tell me, hello and then she walked away.
I went in after cards but Danielle was gone. so Tuesday I went in again and told her that I didn't appreciate her snarky remark and to never confront me again.
All the women I was playing cards with commented on how nasty she was.
She said she would never talk to me again and I thanked her and left.
Guess I could have gone to Sandy and complained since I don't know why Danielle is talking to Maurice.
He no longer works with us and she should not be talking to him nor mentioning my name.
Our entire board and most of the employees are such a disaster.
You know they are going to put in a restaurant and charge us all a fee to help pay for it.
There will be no vote of the community and another restaurant will fail. How sad.
Thanks for listening to my rant and please publish who you recommend we vote for to get some changes to our board. -
Barbara, Anthem Opinions makes every attempt to avoid telling people who they should vote for.
I don't believe any publication should do so.
Instead they should print the FACTS about those they know...all the FACTS, not just those who that person endorses.
But....in this particular case, when one considers:
The DISGUSTING ACTIONS demonstrated toward Nona Tobin...
Deciding on a restaurant option without a vote of the people while ASSUMING they would accept the additional financial burden of a subsidy...
The manner in which the Removal election was handled...and blaming those who supported it for the high cost, when in fact IT WAS SANDY SEDDON and a NEW ASSOCIATION ATTORNEY in cooperation with a SUN CITY ANTHEM BOARD, who not only designed the SCHEME with a CPA firm to do whatever it took to essentially HIDE THE BALLOTS from residents
Removing the Foundation Assisting Seniors from Sun City Anthem premises and spending $5,000 to add medical equipment to the same location, while FAS still continues to provide it free of charge...
Legal fees that have exploded in amount (look for a future article on that)
The latest ILLEGAL "Document Request Form" designed to scare individuals from receiving community information to which they are LEGALLY ENTITLED.
...I would certainly NOT vote for any individual or individuals who share the belief that such actions are ETHICAL.
That would place me in the same UNETHICAL CATEGORY which in my mind, ALL BELONG.
That "cast of characters" include:
Aletta Waterhouse
Robert Burch
James Coleman
But...Candice Karrow does not answer any questions and apparently fully supports them.
As the saying goes, "You are who you associate with".
People should be aware they need not cast ballots for 4 individuals.
They have the right to cast a vote for one or two if they choose.
That is the attitude I will be taking when the ballots are mailed on March 30th. -
From Barry Goldstein...to...Anthem Opinions
I guess Mr. Berman has short term memory problems if he thinks the management solved the insurance issue.
I seem to remember a board meeting where a homeowner that was in the insurance business told the board how to solve the issue.
That person even had a meeting with the GM and CFO and explained it to them.
Well maybe he can spin it that the management did solve it by following what the homeowner recommended?
The board certainly does not seek homeowner experts to help with issues. -
Barry, don't be shy.
For those of our readers who are unaware of Barry Goldstein's past that includes years of experience in the insurance industry, Barry is talking about himself !
A few years ago Barry Goldstein, while on the Sun City Anthem Finance Committee, audited the insurance coverage of SCA, and also included the coverage of the then restaurant.
He discovered that the restaurant HAD NO INSURANCE, and immediately brought this to the attention of the then Board.
The Board IGNORED him, and he subsequently contacted the Nevada Department of Insurance, reporting the matter.
The Insurance Department then contacted SCA and demanded that the restaurant obtain it.
While Mr. Goldstein literally saved the association from financial disaster if a claim would have taken place, the BOARD instead, OSTRACIZED him as a "troublemaker."
This IS YOUR BOARD, Sun City Anthem.
Rather than praising him, they instead, CRITICIZED him. -
From Peter Hudson...to...Anthem Opinions
Who is it that oversees our Association?
If what I’ve read over the past few publications are true as stated, I truly believe our community is being run by a bunch of children who all they know and want to do is gang up and bully down.
If this is a true Association, the Board of Directors should be the overseer of our whole community and its membership.
The only time an attorney should speak or the need to intervene is if asked a question by the Board and or if said request by the Board to help further explain.
Our Directors should be the overseer of the Management Team as well.
It appears management can go directly to legal and bypass the Board completely.
This should never be the case and if it is so it needs to stop.
With what I read of Ms. Tobin request, if I was running for, new to and or on the Board, I too would not only want to see and read items in question; I would even request a lot more to help further educate myself of the history of our Association.
This is what a responsible Board Member was and is elected to do.
What’s there to hide from a fellow Board Member and or the community at large????
It sounds like we have a Fox loose in the hen house and someone soon needs to plug that hole.
Lastly, all of this leaves a bad taste in my mouth and I hope I am not alone.

She was legally elected, immorally removed, and has had to endure the shameless treatment that corruption will do anything to stonewall.
This shows the depth individuals will go through to harm an elected individual's attempt to examine the books of an association...
...a pledge she made when elected, yet stonewalled and cast aside in the most inhumane and disrespectful manner possible when she attempted to keep her promises.
Would you like this happening to you?
Just remember, this "Bully" Board fully sanctioned this activity and three of them are running for re-election:
Aletta Waterhouse
Robert Burch
James Coleman
These individuals are hailed by another publication written by a blogger whose past includes: being caught in dishonest acts, character assassination, and sugarcoating CORRUPTION by NEVER disclosing the full truth, using a community blog to stonewall anything that in any way would destroy the "machine" which caused such mistreatment to a fellow resident.
That publication will NEVER disclose the DIRT, it will only look for reasons to hide it, not by defending the actions brought out by other publications, ,but instead by malicious attacks on those who expose it.
You will NEVER see such condemning evidence on that publication because doing so, it would have it admit to the corruption it has hidden and unethically promoted year after year.
.
And...re-electing the above individuals who endorse such actions, means you condone such activity.
There is no other way to explain this.
How these individuals can look themselves in the mirror in condoning such actions, should be looked on as the definition as to how they define the word "integrity".
