“Resort Manager Update” at WKORV

[daviator]

So we arrived today at WKORV, where we own and have visited many times over the past twenty years.

the concierge gave me the daily activity schedule, which (if I’m being honest) I don’t usually even look at, but this time I did.

i note that on Tuesday – probably every Tuesday, I’m guessing – there is a “Resort Manager Update” at 9 am in the Board Room (which I’ve walked past a zillion times, it’s on the ground floor of building 3.)

The kicker is that it costs $10 to attend. So I’m wondering if anyone has ever gone to this update, and how they get off charging money for a property update.

I doubt I will go, the idea of giving them any amount of money to tell me what’s going on at the property where I own just strikes me as strange and a little offensive. But wondering what I might be missing.

I don't know a thing about your resort, but a similar "weekly Monday morning meeting with the manager" is held at one (independent) resort where we own a few weeks. No sales pitches, just a legitimate resort status update and Q&A opportunity for owners present on site during any given week. Exchangers and renters may attend as well, but not many do so. They don't charge any money for the coffee, juice, pastries and donuts provided, but that may be the reason for the $10 being (over)charged by a tight fisted manager at WKORV.

Manager might be tight-fisted, but there's something to be said for not charging it to the HOA if it really costs $10 per attendee for coffee and donuts. The owners update from management they have weekly at WSJ don't cost anything, though - last time I went they had coffee but no donuts and they didn't charge anything.
