LIONS, After speaking with the officials about some of the concerns expressed by some of our committee members (which many of you may have seen on MoLIONS) we asked for and received an extension to the date for registration at the Chateau on the lake. We have until the 17th of January to make reservations at the discounted LIONS rate. So, Please make your reservations today. Rooms are filling up fast and it's going to be a lot of fun. Below is part of the discussion I had with the hotel concerning rumors of management change: Mr. Taylor, We were recently made aware of a decision made by one of the major hotel brand in Branson of a change in Management Company. Since the significant media attention has caused some misperception, I am sending this email to clarify the situation with the Chateau on the Lake resort. John Q. Hammons Hotels and Resorts has owned and operated the Chateau on the Lake Resort since the opening of the property in 1997 and has no intentions of selling the resort or changing the management contract or management team of the Chateau on the Lake Resort. Our intention as an executive conference resort is to provide the best possible environment for our clients to hold meetings, enjoy recreation, and set new goals for the collective efforts they will provide for their organization. We remain committed to this goal. We feel that hard work, respect and honesty will allow us to succeed. And based on our existing merit and strong track record, we have earned some of the industry's highest awards including the "AAA Four Diamond Award" for fifteen consecutive years. You are certainly in great hands with Molly Lieberknecht; however, should you ever have any questions or comments for me, please do not hesitate to call.
