Recent find of Original Documents were mailed to each President (GRF, Third Laguna Hills Mutual and United Laguna Hills Mutual), together with information sheets from OriginalTrust and amendment to the Trust dated Jan. 9, 1969. These documents stated how and why Ross Cortese, the developer of Leisure World Laguna Hills, changed the concept of Leisure World Laguna Hills from a Senior Citizen non-profit Co- operative to a Senior Citizen non-profit Condominium Complex.

Mis-information
has been given to the boards of Golden Rain Foundation and United Hills Mutual regarding the CC&R's
of Leisure World Laguna Hills. These boards were told
they have no
CC&R's, yet Third Laguna HIlls Mutual of Leisure
World Laguna
Hills has CC&R's. How is this possible?? |
 |
|
Noni & Corkey Eley |
It
is impossible for Third Mutual to have CC&R's and
GRF and
United Mutual not to have CC&R's. If the boards
would have read the
Original documents mailed to the Presidents of each
board, they would
know Third Mutual was admitted into Leisure World
Laguna
Hills in 1969
and United transferred all their assets and
liabilities to Third
Mutual. All of the Original governing documents
(CC&R's, Trust
& Regulatory Agreements) were amended to include
Third Mutual
into Leisure World Laguna Hills. To our knowledge,
Unitedand GRF were not eliminated. GRF is still the
Trustee, United & Third
are the Trustors of Golden Rain Foundation Trust and
all are
subject to the same governing documents (CC&R"s,
Trust and
Regulatory Agreements).
Sincerely
yours,
Noni & Corkey Eley
