Owners Association

[89checkmate22]

When we purchased our Aruba timeshare we were informed that, as an owner, we were a member of the resort timeshare owners association. Nine years later, we have still not been advised of any association meetings nor any association actions. I suspect that this "association" is in name only and that it "exists" more for prohibitions than for benefits. To explain prohibitions, a few years ago the resort was going to do some remodeling and I asked if I could bid on some of the products they would be purchasing. I was informed by the owners that as a member of the timeshare owners association I could not, because of potential conflict of interest.
Does anyone out there belong to an active timeshare owners association? If so, does the association have a charter, constitution, by-laws? Would you be able to share a copy with me?
