Why couldn't the BOD wait until next year's District Convention to get their approval before selling?
This must be the answer - they want the money, and they don't want the sale stopped.
As asked on the other board, "Does MNS so desperately need the money?" If not, your question is very important.
Furthermore, even though MNS holds title to the property, it was to be held to serve the two districts, MNN as well as MNS. Christian courtesy would dictate getting input and at least tacit agreement by MNN before selling.
Moreover, if MNS does not desperately need the money then, given the depressed market climate, is it fiduciarily responsible to sell at this time?
So yes, what's the big hurry?
