 Board Evaluating Input from Co-Owners

At the Board of Directors meeting held March 15, 2017, the Board focused on questions and concerns received from Co-Owners who have sent correspondence and responded through the web site about proposed changes to the General Partner and Reciprocal Exchange Programs.

Board President Randy Pugh has communicated your ideas and concerns to Host Hotels in his ongoing discussions with the General Partner.

If you haven't yet given the Board your input, you can reply to this email with your comments. Please let us know what questions or opinions you have on these important topics.

Minutes of the March 15 Board Meeting will be available when approved by the Board. Minutes for meetings held on January 18, February 16 and March 2, 2017 can be viewed on the Meetings and Events page of the web site.

 General Partner Mailing Available on the Web

A detailed mailing was sent by Host Hotels to all Limited Partners in February. Host also asked the President of the Board of Directors to make the information available on the web site. You can now access the electronic version of Host's mailing on the What's New Page of the web site or from the Partnership Information Page. The mailing includes a multi-page cover letter, financial statements and a detailed series of answers to anticipated questions.

The majority of the information deals with two timely and important topics:

Election of a new General Partner
Proposed changes to the Reciprocal Exchange Program

Both matters will be presented for approval by the Limited Partners in the coming months.
