Mr. Lopez,
The meeting that was held on December 3rd
was not a legal meeting since proper notification was not given. As for the
officers, they must be elected, not appointed, and notice of election must be
given.
We can make this work if we are all
willing to cooperate. I am still waiting to see that. You have stated
that a meeting is to be held on January 21st. .
When were we to be informed of this meeting?
One of the purposes of FJI is to be a
Group B member of USA Judo. Unless I have misinterpreted the letter from
USA Judo President,
For the past 3 years, FJI has not been an
organization for the members of FJI, but has done whatever the past president
wanted, totally ignoring the by laws and the wants of the membership. Case in
point, I was removed from the position of Director of Operations improperly but
decided it was not worth it to challenge that decision.
From your response to Alicia Ellis, it
appears that you do not seem willing to cooperate, but that you just want to
continue in control.

FJI meeting
To Ms. Alicia Warnick-Ellis,
Ms. Warnick-Ellis:
First of all Florida Judo Inc., is not in a state of
disarray as you claim. The newly appointed administration approved by its
members on the December 3rd, 2005 meeting which you did not attend is working
to foresee the problems that FJI had.
Second of all, you are not an authorized executive
committee member to call for a special meeting for FJI. It was approved
my its members on December 3rd, 2005, to have a special meeting on January 21,
2006, in Central Florida to discuss all issues with Florida Judo Inc., and
its bylaws in conjunction with the 2006 Junior Awards Luncheon, which will be
held at Central Florida Judo and Jujitsu Dojo, 248 Hatteras Blvd., Clermont,
Fl. and is being held by Bill Andreas. The special meeting will start at
1:00 pm and the Awards Luncheon will begin at 4:00 pm.
Third of all, you stated that the USA Judo
National office has declared that FJI doesn't exist and has taken over the
functioning of the business. Ms. Warnick-Ellis, the USA Judo
National Office can not declare us as a non existing corporation or take over
the functions of the business. The only thing they can do is not
recognize us as a group B State Organization. They have the right
to do that and choose a Group B Organization. So for your information,
Florida Judo Inc., is an existing corporation in the State of
Even if the USA Judo National office decides not to
recognize Florida Judo Inc., as its Group B organization at the national
meeting in April, 2006, Florida Judo Inc., will continue to operate as a corporation
in the State of Florida, as a state organization in the State and it will
continue to support its state members that belong to Florida Judo, Inc.
We will continue to exist just like any other Judo organization in the State of
Your opinions and comments are welcomed, but your action
taken here is unacceptable because you are not an authorized executive
committee member and the statements made towards Florida Judo Inc., are
incorrect. Especially coming from a member that has not attended a
meeting or supported the organization in the last 3 years, but has made it a
point to stir up chaos and confusion upon its active members in the last 3
months.
Humberto Lopez
Executive Vice President of FJI
