The Rumor is True this time

The ever circulating rumor that the park is going to be sold has finally become true.  We received a letter in our mailboxes this morning and I copied this from the Palm Creek Facebook page so we know it to be fact.


*****************

Ashton Wolfswinkel announces transfer of ownership of Palm Creek Golf & RV Resort to Sun Communities, a Michigan based company. Read Ashton's letter to all Palm Creek residents. We wish Ashton and his family the best in the New Year. 

Ashton says in his letter to Palm Creek Staff and Residents:

To all of our Residents, Guests, Friends and Family:
On behalf of the Wolfswinkel family, I would l like to announce that we are in contract with Sun Communities of Southfield, Michigan to sell our interest in Palm Creek Golf & RV Resort. We believe that this is not only the best interest of our family, but for the benefit of our Residents, Guests and the community as a whole. 

Palm Creek started as a dream of my father, Conley, and has become one of the premier RV and mobile home communities in the United States. Through his vision, the hard work and dedication of many long-time staff members, countless volunteers and the patronage of our Residents and Guests over the past 13+ years, Palm Creek has continued to grow into a community that we as owners have been very proud of. I also believe this same pride and sense of community is felt deeply by our Residents and Guests.

The management team of the past few years, lead by Wendell, Debbie, Gary, Val, Diane, Marilyn, Linda, Roger, Dora, Ann and the more recent editions of Fernando and Jim Dawson on a full-time basis is, in my opinion the best management team we have ever had and the property looks the best it has since my involvement some 10 years ago. The entire management team and staff will continue to serve our residents and run the property in the same fashion as it has always been, with a commitment to excellence. Sun Communities is run by a group of high quality individuals and they are committed to working to keep Palm Creek the amazing place it has become. I feel confident and am very comfortable knowing that Palm Creek will be in good hands, and will build on the legacy that we have all been blessed to be a part of.

Thank you all for so many great memories, for your support, and for your love and commitment to this place we call Palm Creek - which would only be a group of buildings with some grass to mow, streets to drive on and pads to park on - but with all of you, you have made this place a community like no other. I am thankful, blessed and just plain lucky to have been a part of this for such an influential part of my life.

Thank you and my best wishes to all.

Ashton Wolfswinkel
