Being turned down by the PTOA upset Vlietman and he decided to get a new board of directors. Vlietman found some stooges to front for him, made deals and hand picked his new board of directors called T.A.P.R.C. the board that is in office to date. All cited by the bankruptcy trustees; read link about backdoor deals. Bankruptcy Trustees Report
Vlietman had to discredit the PTOA board serving at this time, so he used what little resort funds we had left, earmarked to repair the major damage done to the resort. Vlietman sent out newsletters to all the owners - which only cost around $8,000.00 to $10,000.00 between printing handling and postage for each mailing. Vlietman sent out these newsletters it seemed, almost biweekly at least 6 mailings in all. Just to
discredit the board in place and get his board approved by the owners.
The PTOA tried to fight back, using mostly their own money for legal fees, court cost etc: other then the $20.00 the PTOA asked owners for. They couldn't compete and lost at the special general meeting Vlietman held and then the court battle. The PTOA was able to get a notice out to all owners in which one part was a questionnaire of what owners wanted at their resort. This is about the time I got involved with the PTOA and tried to support them and also my reason for doing so. It just made all the sense in the world to support the board that asked owners what they wanted at their resort.
This is also the time when the emails started flying online, - some owners believed what was fed to them by Vlietman and TAPRC and some supported the PTOA. Judy Young supported the TAPRC board. Friend of Bob and Rosemary Ryan (TAPRC) who we later found out were
paying for Judy Young's ISP service since Judy claimed a hardship to pay for it. From what I can see since Judy Young's formed an alliance with Mr. Sutton she seems to be able to afford 4 to 6 week vacations now. More on this later.
The History of the Pelican Resort Club, St.Maarten
The main goal of this site will be to keep owners informed of past and future events of the resort. More sites – links and comments will follow so be sure to check back often. I have tried really hard to be factual on the events posted below. I ask all of you to help keep me straight on these issues below and what issues may follow. In all fairness I had given up on Pelican just after the take over by RRG in the way of the voting rights they are in possession of. I had hoped they would do the right thing and listen to what owners wanted. After ten years we are no better off then we were since first hiring RRG. In my opinion we are heading for another bankruptcy. History is repeating itself if one would only open their eyes to see. Is it greed and or corruption at foot here, I can’t say for sure. Let me ask you this if I may? At the Annual General Meeting of last Dec 2006 with 2 lawyers, accounting firm, RRG, TAPRC and Judy Young present they in fact tried to use the 508 FIP votes of units in default. Had they used any of these same-defaulted on unit votes any prior years? Now that has to make some of you wonder – just who is looking out for us owners? I don’t just make this stuff up. This type of thing has been going on since day 1. Just look up St.Maarten on the U.S. Department of State. They warn of a large number of complaints about misuse of maintenance fees. Is this true, I think we need to find out. Lets all help each other in getting to the truth here.
