“We're very fortunate to have such a dedicated and talented group of technicians," said Greta. "They've been faced with many challenges over the past few years, and because of our strong team efforts we have persevered. We certainly wouldn't be where we are today without these special individuals.”

“Our slipholders and service clients who visit from near and far constantly tell me their love for our beautiful resorts," added Managing Director Charlie Petosa.
