lots of “sawdust” at - perennial vacation club · 2018-11-14 · lots of “sawdust” at all...
TRANSCRIPT
Lots of “sawdust” atall of our resorts, though mostly at Bandera.Although a very prominent Bandera Homestead
sign indicates the turn off the main highway, we’ve added an “almost there.” A beautiful sign now answers the inevitable, “are we there yet?” as you drive the access road to our hilltopresort. We are
especially proud of our team effort: designed by our resident communications director and graphic designer since 1989, Gary Edwards, and built on site by ourmaintenance staff. And should youarrive after dark, it has solar powered lighting.
The Bandera crew has also been busy with a complete remodel of Building “A,” a substantial project that included some minor changes to layout, newcabinets, countertops, carpet, mattresses and furniture. We are pleased to say it is complete and ready for our members and guests to enjoy.
The Daytona kitchen and bathroom remodels have been completed and all the windows willbe upgraded for enhancement and insulation.Additionally we have upgraded the WiFi system to increase coverage on the property and offer some of the best WiFi service in the Beach area. New sofas and TVs are on the way. Tahoe isgetting a lot of new carpet and furniture.
And still more is being planned!

Earn Silver Crown Designation! Our resorts honored for providing outstanding vacation experiences
RCI, one of the leading vacation exchange companies, has announced awarding the prestigious RCI Silver Crown Resort property designation to the Perennial Vacation Club’s resorts located at Lake Tahoe, Nevada, Bandera, Texas, Daytona and ImperiaLakes, Florida.
Resorts that have provided outstanding vacation experiences for RCI exchange guests are honored with this prestigious award. Further, these resorts have met quality and service standards based on ratings from RCI Member Comment Cards.
“On behalf of our members, we are delighted to achieve these significant awards. Considering that the designation includes many aspects of our guests’ vacation experience,it means that the important ‘team’ part of our mission
statement is very much in evidence.” – Judge Laurence Wayne, President, Perennial Vacation Club.
Mission Statement“Our Mission, Accomplished Through
Teamwork, is to Create Vacations That EnrichOur Members’ Lives.”
for the third year in a row!Annual maintenance fees are an important and necessary aspect of membership. Member accommodations are an integral part of the vacation experience and critical to maintaining a high exchange rating. We regularly replace carpet, mattresses, furniture and appliances. And just as important as the interiors are the look and functionality of exteriors. What is difficult to anticipate are the “out of left field” happenings that require us to dip into reserves and economize from elsewhere. A good example of this is a recent one-in-a-million lightening strike that took out the five Bandera Resort septic pumps, satellite WiFi and TV, office computer and printer. All have been replaced and updated. In Daytona, all our beachfront units were mandated to have “turtle glass“– one-way glass which ensures that newly hatched baby turtles head to sea, not to check-in at our resort. Then the city fathers sent us the latest requirement that all resorts must have much smaller signs that are significantly lower to the ground.
The Tahoe snowplow has finally seen its last winter. The list goes on, but you get the picture.
As a member owned and operated, not-for-profit vacation club, you can be assured that the board of directors and staff will always carefully and diligently balance the cost to our members of maintaining the highest quality vacation experience at the lowest annual maintenance fee possible.

the cyme of big yellow flowers may reach up to 26 ft in height.
