comment + seasonal operations

Anonymous has left a new comment on your post "comment reply":

You are correct in stating LA is a campground and should be run as such with a main seasonal period and an off season but still being able to have activities. When LA was in the early years there were more activities ALL year and there was a recreation director who was part time and ALSO wore many hats but again, SHE WAS NOT FULL TIME!!! It is nice for a daughter to stand up for her parent but this isn't a soap box. As far as her working so much for the store, building etc, if that was so why has the board, and past boards, stated the store and kitchen are costing us money and plans on closing them, the store alrerady has been closed so that should have impacted her work load. THIS IS NOT AND SHOULD NOT BE AN ATTACK ON AN INDIVIDUAL but the position no matter who has it. It is poor business practce, especially in these times, to mis manage staff and the position is over-paid and over extended hours when there are no activities. Here again is an example of not having a manager or a board that knows what to do, but we all elected them so live with it, when election time rolls around make your choices wisely. As far as people making statements about other salaries and benefits, WAKE UP, look at the state the country is in and companies closing and cutting costs and do you think if property owners, are included in that backlash that they will have money to pay dues and keep the revenue coming into Lake Adventure!!! The company I work for has slashed jobs and stopped business travel for all employees to survive and most companies have done the same. If emplyees are not happy with change take a look at the job market and see if they can find a job to equal what they are making at LA. in that area. I just can't believe the issues that people are concerned about and not about the board and not having a manager to handle these problems. Your dues money is going out the window and costs out of your pocket is only going to increase with mis spending and not having the proper revenues coming in do you think the dues will remain the same?? You have been hit with a 300% increase over the past five years and what do you have to show for it, is the appearance of LA look any better?? Has all the sewer and lateral work been completed? Has the electrical up grade been completed?? Where is the multi-year plan ?? With the township on our backs how long do you think we will be allowed to remain open, their inspectors were in the park most of the summer, do you think they were in there to watch the chipmunks and birds or to look for violations....LA is in trouble and this board better wake up and stop the in fighting and worrying about hurting someone's feelings and run a business as LA should be run.

  1. It’s not just a matter of making your choices wisely when you vote in the next Board election. The bigger concern here is this: WHO is qualified to be on the board and getting them to run. Sometimes we may feel that we are choosing the “lesser of two evils.” If you have community association leadership or board of director’s experience (outside of Lake Adventure), PLEASE consider running in the next LA board election.

  2. First this should be discussed in private( Financial issues). An employee or their family member shouldn't be involved. I would love to be a fly on the wall in my employers office and find out information. This blog is great for interaction among the owners but it is open to all (employees/contractors/owners).Never a good thing.



    We need to cut back on our spending. Jobs have to be cut.Money has to be saved. In the next few years we may lose lake adventure if we don't act. We need the right people on the board who know how to help the community. Put the Ego's aside and deal with the issues. This is a serious situation.


    And for the New York comment, if we don't come to your state and spend you better have a money making tree.
