Laurel Point Resort

As you probably know, wildfires spread rapidly through Gatlinburg, Tennessee on November 28, 2016 causing massive damage and, sadly, loss of life. More than 14,000 residents and visitors were forced to evacuate in the dark with no time to spare.  It is going to take quite a while to assess the damages that were left in the wake of this disaster, but we do know that it is going to adversely affect our our team members at Laurel Point Resort, both personally and professionally.
Although no one has been able to get back to the property yet, we have seen from aerial photos that Condo Building A and the Check-In Office/Indoor Pool building are most likely a total loss. The condition of the rest of the property is unknown until such time when we are permitted to actually be onsite to perform an assessment of damages.  Disasters like this, whether caused by nature or humans, could happen to any of us in the communities in which we live and work.  It was only in October of this year that so many were negatively impacted by Hurricane Matthew.

I believe that SPM Resorts is a “family” working together to benefit and support both SPM Resorts Corporate and each and every one of the resorts that we manage. The success of this company is based on the contributions of every single employee in our corporate office and in the field.  We may not know each other personally, but we can come together at this time to offer our support through prayers and financial donations, if you are able.  Let’s lift up our “family” of employees at Laurel Point Resort,  Benjamin Clinton, Andrew Harlfinger, Robyn Hickey, Barbara Higgins, Ricky McCarter, Brian Petrosh, and Jeffrey Wasden, and give them our support.  

This Go Fund Me campaign will be running through Tuesday, December 20, 2016, for those of you who are able to make a financial contribution.   

Thanks in advance for your support,

Bill Young

President/CEO
