We are incorporated in the state of California and a 501.c.3 non-profit organization. This is the first time ever that our club has had such a situation happen like this.

We used to also include the treasurer's report in the newsletter and that also has been removed but can be reviewed separately as well. The administration thinks that if a club member wants to find out about what is happening at the club they can come to the meetings or ask the secretary. Getting the information second hand from others creates its own problems and is not dependable as you can guess.

Any comments out there? Maybe your experiences may add new insight. Thanks!
There are certain legal requirements business entities (especially 501(c)(3) organizations) must follow regardless of what the board thinks or what the by-laws say, it's what the law says. Find someone knowledgeable on the legal requirements and pursue legal action if necessary.

How are you certain they are a 501(c)(3)? As mentioned below, 501(c)(3) status is extremely difficult to quality for, especially for an R/C club.

I have trouble wrapping my head around how some of this stuff comes about, it's grown men and toy airplanes. <sigh>
Unfortunately, not all men have grown.
