February 12, 2020 Town-hall meeting concerning the future of Reading Country Club

Many good comments by attending citizens and overwhelmingly for keeping, restoring and operating the Clubhouse and the Golf course.
 
During the course of this video I maintained eyes on the supervisors and their involvement and actions. You should note that only two supervisors took notes: MS. Kircher and Mr. Galtere.
 
Watch as John Cusatis looking at his watch, looking at his phone, interrupting speakers, interjecting comments, smiling and laughing tapping his hands/fingers in boredom. Our community deserves much better.
 
It is important to also note that High Associates contacted 7,200 potential suitors for the golf course and country club. Only 3 serious replies. However, feedback was obtained which indicated that potential interested parties felt the facilities, both the golf course and the clubhouse were too rundown. Our supervisors have not fulfilled their obligations to maintain township assets. Make sure you let them know how you feel about this.
 
This is one of the statutory requirements of each supervisor enumerated in the 2nd class township code. They have not met those requirements
