• Pollard Brook is one of only a few resorts that has a balanced budget.

• We continue to budget and spend conservatively.

• The industry is finally catching up to my way of thinking on investing maintenance fees as other businesses can.

• Just want to remind you I’m up for re-election next year and have no clue what I’ll have to talk about.
