This will help provide the much needed revenue for the travel costs for the program. Thanks to TFT helping to provide a much needed service for our returning veterans. Currently soldiers and their families are scheduled to go to some great locations. Coming up is a Las Vegas, Nevada, South Florida and South Lake Tahoe, California, Glacier, Washington, and Klamath Falls, Oregon.

After a fantastic night of live music and great food, the Summer Bash charity event proved to be a success once again. Raising over $4000 for the Boys & Girls Club of Souhegan Valley, local New Hampshire businesses like BuyATimeshare.com came together to bring a night of celebration to the Sky Lounge in Nashua.

Wes Kogelman explains, “last year we were able to get a lot of people together and raise a lot of money for the Boys & Girls Club. We had a lot of fun this year and hope to raise just as much next year.”

Thousands of raffle tickets were sold and some people left the Summer Bash with some awesome prizes. Among the prizes auctioned off, an autographed shadow box with two Red Sox tickets was won by John Sarofeen for $800. Justine Mollomo of BuyATimeshare.com sold nearly $1500 in raffle tickets.

A special thanks to BuyATimeshare.com’s own Mary Pat Burns for selling so many tickets at the door, and to Jocelyn Lockwood and Liz Jones for ticket sales and help with the auction and raffle drawing.

All of us at BuyATimeshare.com are happy to see the huge attendance of people that came to support the cause. Kogleman assures the funds are going to the children of Hillsboro County. “100 percent of the money raised will benefit the Boys & Girls Club of Souhegan Valley and will go toward helping them create and maintain after school programs and opportunities for kids who would otherwise be without.”

3 Diamond Resorts for sale for nonprofit help this cause today May 28, 2009

Posted by Cynthia Hudson in : Charity , add a comment


I have been honored to gain a customer today whom came to me with 3 timeshares at Diamond Resort at Point at Poipu ad#49737, 49739 and 49741. I write about her today not so much about her timeshares but about what she does. Christie is the founder of a non-profit agency “Welcome Home Foster Family” Agency. This is a thankless job. She had worked for another agency and the children fell by the waist side and they would lose track of those children. Christie didn’t like how things were set up so she started her own non-profit to help those unfortunate children that need to go into foster homes for one reason or another. She sets it up so no child gets lost in the paperwork. It is a 24 hour job. She puts the children before anything else. She has poured her heart, money and soul into this non-profit to be able to give a home for the children. YOU CAN MAKE DONATIONS OR INQUIRIES TO welcomehomeffa@hotmail.com and their non-profit license #347003987.

Thank you for ppl with hearts like Christie.

Raising for Rosie Update May 28, 2009

Posted by aturcotte in : Charity , add a comment

I’de like to thank everybody who contributed to the Raising For Rosie Fundraiser in December 2008. It’s times like these that we appreciate our friends, family, and community more then ever. Rosie underwent surgery to remove the cancerous tumors in her Lungs and Chest Cavity. Though the odds were against her and the risks were almost to much to bare, the surgery was a success.  After a week of rehabilitation she returned home to begin her recovery process during the last weeks of 2008.  In the past five months Rosie completed her remaining five Chemo Therapy treatments. She continues her daily Radiation treatment to reduce any remaining cancerous cells in her blood stream. Each day her natural glow is more apparent and her once typical routines are now becoming a part of her life again. She was extremely excited to par take in the walk for Cancer held in Lowell on May 16Th. Though I backed out due to the torrential down pours, she completed the 3 mile course in the rain within 2 hours! Recently, they hopped on their bike and took a spin to my house here in NH. It was her first time on the motorcycle since she was diagnosed. She was very excited to finally be able to endure the position and common obstacles of riding on the back of a motorcycle.  On May 1rst she finally penciled herself into the schedule of managing a popular Ice cream retreat in downtown Lowell. She works 3 days a week part time. What an achievement! She was diagnosed in August of 2008 and underwent surgery, rehabilitation, and recovery only to return back to work within 10 months! My youngest brother Ryan has returned home from Iraq to visit with her for two weeks, also her oldest son Paul and his girlfriend are expecting their first child and her second grandchild. Each day her steps to recovery become larger. Her once bright and exciting lifestyle is beginning to burn through the darkened clouds of disease and pain. We appreciate everything that you’ve all contributed to her recovery.

Fractionals, Rentals, Timeshare Resale Review February 23, 2009

Posted by Bryan Connelly in : ARDA, Charity, Customer Comments, General, New Features, News & Events, RCI, Timeshare Rental, Timeshare Resale, Timeshare Resource, Travel, Uncategorized , 1 comment so far

“Fractionals have helped to build upon the already growing more positive image for Timeshare. In the early days timeshare got a negative reputation that came from poorly executed hotel converted products rather than today’s more purpose built product. So the upscale fractional image is good news for timeshare. Plus as a term fractional is a mere aptly descriptive term – a fraction of a whole interest. It also led the way for urban timeshare. And finally imitation is the highest form of flattery. The birth of fractionals is a testament to timeshare’s success as a great vacation product.” ~Howard Nusbaum

Timeshare has always been a symbol of the American middle class, hit hardest by the collapsing credit market. Flattening like a flan in a cupboard, 2008 shriveled timeshare sales, with little or no financing for consumers in site. Timeshare and fractional ownership had been meeting the needs of everyone from the working class to the super rich. As fractionals evolve there will be more contemporary products suited for the middle class, blue collar worker.

But the concept has two types: Fractional or shared ownership, like traditional timeshare, and a rental agreement. Rental agreements tend to expire, with one party the owner, and the other the tenant. The fractionals are growing in popularity, leading to a more amiable attitude toward timeshare. Travel enthusiasts have found ways to enjoy the opulent luxuries of life, using fractional ownership to turn a lifestyle into a vacation.

The rapid acceptance of fractional ownership is fueled by the credibility and establishment of the timeshare industry. Timeshares have been trusted simply because of the untarnished reputation of fractionals. The popularity of this concept has increased since the recession spiked. Continuing economic troubles have restrained most consumers from investing in anything that needs expensive maintenance or that will most likely depreciate quickly—namely, timeshare. There are a number of schemes that consumers are investigating in hopes of luxury and savings that come with fractional ownership.

Art enthusiasts will often pay toward a pooled investment. When a period of investment is completed, members receive 2 pieces of artwork, or their investment back in cash. Investors often decide to make working part of the vacation. People will invest by laboring and living at a winemaker’s chateau for a few weeks a year. Some will simply buy into a wine fund, where the wine in return is typically the only expected payoff.

Many websites will offer shares in luxury yachts of all sizes, softening the price of such an extravagant investment. Similar sites will allow consumers a chance to buy into shares of aircraft. Corporate jet shares are popular with businesses and pilots who share ownership while enjoying a multimillion dollar piece of freedom.

BuyATimeshare.com is just one option of the many fractional opportunities out there. Every interest out there; land, sea, and air all waiting to offer you an amazing vacationing experience—made affordable, and yours to enjoy.

The timeshare industry has brought us affordable vacationing and access to the world’s finest luxury resorts. Recent straits in the U.S economy however, have triggered companies to pare staff by the thousand. Unemployment has grown to 7.2 percent nationally. In the aftermath of a tough credit market, top brands in the hospitality industry have shed sales departments and are in the process of scaling down.

Due to an increase in the demand for selling and renting timeshares, the resale market is witnessing a boom. Consumers are finding affordable vacationing during economic hardship and owners are getting their timeshares sold. Contrary to current conditions, BuyATimeshare.com has employment opportunities during a companywide upgrade.

The New Hampshire-based timeshare reseller and marketing firm, BuyATimeshare.com owners Wes Kogelman and Jason Hamilton grew up in the granite state and want to offer a legitimate solution for individuals looking to sell or rent their timeshare properties.

Kogelman stated “We have the most aggressive marketing program to bring buyers and seller of timeshare properties together; we’ve shown success with all timeshare properties throughout the world and want to offer people a risk free way to sell or rent their timeshare properties.”

As a vacation property ownership can bring years of affordable vacationing, likewise they can become a liability. While annual maintenance fees pile up for some owners, others are unable to even enjoy their vacation property year after year. A growing number of people are liquidating assets and scurrying to pay their inflated home mortgages, BuyATimeshare.com has created the resale marketplace on their website to help in your efforts.

This is a significant tool in a world driven by internet technology. More and more owners cannot afford, do not use, or are just looking to sell or rent their vacation properties. “We’ve listened to our consumers and want to do everything possible to help.

In today’s economy, BuyATimeshare.com is looking to help however it can. The company’s founders are offering an inexpensive route to worldwide exposure.

The Second Annual Luau was held at the “Hula Hut” in the Frederick’s Pastries plaza. On a plot of sand, dozens of friends, guests and employees of BuyATimeshare.com lounged by the light of the tiki torches chatting, playing and sipping their beverages. CBM Cares, the not-for-profit-organization which is made up of local business owners, hosted the gala and gave everyone the rare chance to unwind on a Saturday night with some great people, great food—all for a good cause.

Everybody showed up with enthusiastic Hawaiian-themed attire and was ready to party. Music was provided by 106.3 Frank FM, with their music van blaring rock n’ roll into the night. Fantastic treats were provided courtesy of Gorgio’s Ristorante, Elisha’s Restaurant, Bare Bonz Butcher Shop, and some delicious deserts by Frederick’s Pastries.
