Well, I hope you got through all that chocolate and flowers okay on Valentine's Day. That was yesterday, because today is Sunday the 15th, and we have another OSTA update.
Well hi, everybody. I'm Bill Bateman, part of the team here at OSTA, the Oregon State Tenants Association. And as promised last time, I'm going to have an update on the meetings that are happening all this week. That's right, tomorrow, Monday, as well as Wednesday and Friday at 10 a.m. There are going to be Zoom sessions. Give you an opportunity to drop in, kind of get the latest of what's going on.
But primarily, we want to find out your top three concerns in your park. Is it broken promises? Is it lack of response by a landlord? Is it a shady business practice? What's going on? We want to hear from you. There'll be a survey. You'll have an opportunity to put that information into the chat and share it with us. And we're going to be doing this several times in the next coming months. We're doing it this week, and then we're going to take as a week and calibrate or calculate, if you will, the results. And I'll give you dates and connections for the following week. So if you can't come this week, that's all right.
We're breaking it into three different regions. Technically, Monday is the north end of the state, uh, Wednesday is the middle, and Friday is the south. But hey, any day you can attend at 10 o'clock, we'd love to see you. The links are, as you probably noticed when you popped into the podcast, they're available for you right there, and we look forward to seeing you. Uh bring your uh friends, bring your neighbors, all share a seat in front of the computer and take turns. If it gets real busy, we'll have to limit the amount of time, but if not, we'll have a chance to chat and kind of keep you up to date with what we're up to.
And I also promised to keep you up to date on what was going on with our Vice President Rochelle. She had an opportunity to meet with Dan Rayfield, he's the Attorney General for the state of Oregon. And thank you, Dan, for taking time out of what I know has to be a very busy schedule to uh reach out and extend some time to us. It was really good to see that happening. Uh, it was a good meeting, we were heard, they were listening, and uh, there's going to be future sharing of information as it relates to the problems in senior parks and especially the bad actors. It seems it's not just you and I who are complaining. Uh, this has finally reached the level where folks are starting to take notice. So that will be very helpful in the weeks to come. So those are the two top things we have. The third and final thing I mentioned last time.
I am teaching a new class. It is going to be through OLI, the Ausher Lifelong Learning Institute, and it's the one based in Ashland at Southern Oregon University. It's not meant to be a one-stop fix-all, it's not legal advice. I'm not an attorney, but it's to give you an idea how to navigate the complexities of living in a manufactured home community in the state of Oregon. We're seeing a lot of things happening here in Oregon and in our neighbor to the north. The folks in Washington state have also mobilized, and what we have is a stampede of cash cows. Folks,
you pushed a little too far, you got a little too out of control, and like they say, you mess with the cows, you're gonna get the horns. So with that said, you can sign up for the class if you're interested. There is a fee, but not to Osta, it's to the uh university. I don't make anything, I am a volunteer, and the idea is that uh you're gonna get a lot of good information. You can do that, and you can also take part in the Osta drop-in zoom sessions. They're gonna be this week, and we'll be doing them again, so stay tuned for more information.
And in the meantime, remember, document carefully, discuss calmly, and inform fully. We're gonna see you next time. Be safe out there. Bye bye.
