Bread & Broth posted the following notice of appreciation to Wyndham Vacation Ownership (Wyndham timeshare) in the Tahoe Daily Tribune. Bread & Broth is a charitable, non-profit organization whose mission is to feed those less fortunate in South Lake Tahoe, California. The non-profit charity provides a hot, well-balanced meal free of charge to all who come through its doors. You can follow Bread &  Broad  on Facebook at: www.facebook.com/breadandbroth

The team at Wyndham Vacation Ownership not only provided a donation, but volunteered their time to the charity as well. As you will see by the acknowledgement below, the experience clearly was mutually rewarding

A Thank You to Wyndham Vacation Ownership, reprinted from the Tahoe Daily Tribune:

Bread & Broth would like to extend its appreciation to the Wyndham Vacation Ownership for their sponsorship of an Adopt A Day of Nourishment on Monday, Feb. 18, at St. Theresa Church parish hall. Their generous donation of $250 provided the funds for the food, supplies and utilities needed to provide the hot, well-balanced meal that was served to more than 80 guests.

Bread & Broth was also pleased to have four enthusiastic Wyndham Vacation Ownership associates working side by side with B&B volunteers. One Wyndham associate was Jason Clarke, marketing manager, who “thought it was a rewarding experience helping the less fortunate of our community and we plan to do it again.” Joining Jason were his fellow associates Jennie Asdal, quality assurance representative; Sue Harley, recruiter; and Robert Trew, director of sales. The sponsor volunteer crew did a great job packing giveaway bags and working on the dinner serving line.

As a nonprofit, non-denominational, all volunteer program, the efforts of Bread & Broth are contingent upon the generosity of individuals, organizations, churches and local businesses like Wyndham Vacation Ownership. Bread & Broth would like to thank Wyndham Vacation Ownership for its commitment to the South Lake Tahoe community and Bread & Broth’s goal of feeding the hungry.

Travel To Go Scam Department Warns Members of Fraudulent Timeshare Purchase Calls

The Travel To Go Scam Department was established so that members of this travel club could fully enjoy their luxury vacations without worrying about falling victim to scams of the moment, thereby improving the whole travel experience by education members one scam at a time.

Travel To Go Scam Department is one of the most acclaimed in the industry, and members of this travel club are ecstatic to know about all of the present scams in the travel industry like that of fake timeshare purchase calls. Every year there are scams that are far more successful and much more common throughout the industry, and in 2013 the main scam is that of the fake “Timeshare Buyer” interested in purchasing a person’s timeshare.

Travel To Go Scam Department warns their members to watch out for any calls talking about selling their timeshare memberships, because this is the newest scam on the scene. Unsuspecting timeshare members will receive calls, from supposedly legit timeshare dealers companies offering them deals of a lifetime to purchase their timeshare memberships. There are even some buyers that offer a trade, and only ask members for a small deposit to switch over their memberships. Travel To Go recommends that members proceed with caution when these buyers promising amazing deals show up out of nowhere.

Travel To Go Scam Department suggests that members first get the person’s contact information and immediately call their individual timeshare contact at the company where they purchased their timeshare ownership. These members should look up the legitimate number for their timeshare dealer online to make sure that the person who contacted them is actually affiliated with their company. To do this, call the exact number listed on the site, and ask about the person that made the call. More often than not, the person offering to buy the timeshare is actually a con artist looking to have money wired to them. So, members will end up wiring a few thousand dollars to a person that only wants their money, and they are still in possession of their timeshare, and out the money that they sent.

Travel To Go Scam Department watches out for all of their members so that travelers can enjoy going on vacation, versus falling victim to travel scams. It is nice that a person can rely on a company to watch out for all of their needs, which is why so many members are satisfied with all of the travel deals and individual attention that they receive as a member of Travel To Go.

J. W. Bill Marriott, Jr. (Bill Marriott), past President of Marriott Hotels and Marriott timeshare, was interviewed by the BBC just prior to US President Barack Obama’s State of the Union address (February 12, 2013). You can watch the interview in the video below.

Bill Marriott has also recently released a new book, Without Reservations: How A Family Root Beer Stand Grew Into a Global Hotel Company. Marriott International previously included Marriott timeshare.  Although the two hospitality companies are now separate, any look at the life of the legendary Marriott leader, must include the important role he played in growing Marriott timeshare, (Marriott Vacation Club).
