The other side of the coin is companies don't stay in business by ripping off their customers. Appletree isn't a multibillion dollar corporation, it's a local Pocono business whose customers are local Pocono resort communities. I'd be surprised if over 20 communities would continue to use them if they were not getting their money's worth. My experience with outsourcing (Fortune 10 company) has been proven personnel are assigned to start up projects to insure success and the success is then used in marketing campaigns. The outsourcer has a pool of experienced people to pull from and by servicing multiple area communities they would be familiar with managing our type of facility and the problems that go along with it. I think Eagle Lake (via our attorney) could be convinced to share their contract negotiation experiences and Appletree may even refer us to some of their other clients for help in drawing up a contract. If not then they are not reputible and we should stay away. It wouldn't cost anything but time for the BOD to do some research and ask a few questions

anon-- do you work for this contractor???? sounds like it!
