Dear Mr. Artzt,
We all want to thank you so much for giving us such a wonderful Adult Getaway Weekend. Your staff was truly terrific, and our admiration grows every year that we spend with you.
I want to especially mention JoAnne Thomas and Skip Casey, JoAnne did a wonderful job of arranging the weekend and our whole registration process ran smoothly because of her. Skip was just an invaluable resource; no matter what we needed, he was there even when there were things that we had not previously requested. You are very fortunate to have such caring, competent people working for the resort.
We look forward to being with you again next year. We will be scheduling our 2007 Adult Getaway Weekend in the very near future.
Sincerely,
Patricia Evertz

Dear Maureen and JoAnne;
Please allow me to extend my thanks for the wonderful evening my staff and I enjoyed on Dec. 9th. The food, entertainment, and beverages were of the fines quality as everyone seemed to have a great time and the comments were very favorable. I only wish the weather would have cooperated so everyone invited could have attended.
Thanks again for a great evening.

Dear Mrs. Vagelakos,
On behalf of the Pennsylvania State System of Higher Education, I would like to thank the Pocmont Resort, and you in particular, for providing such a warm and welcoming retreat center for our recent conference. Attendees praised the food and the efforts of the staff to respond to the many details that inevitably arise when 100 people convene for two days of conferencing. Tara Fulton and Bonnie Westhafer told me of your efforts to plan room layouts and menus for our large groups. You also provided exceptional support for our attendees - before, during, and after the conference. Please extend our thanks to the technical staff, the dining staff, the housekeeping staff, the front desk staff, and all others who participated in making our conference such an enjoyable and productive one. We will certainly recommend your resort to others, and hope that we might have occasion to work with you again as well.
Sincerely,

Hi JoAnne!
Thank YOU for all your hard work on our behalf (teamwork, right?!?!?!). :-) And many thanks to you and Maureen for that wonderful reminder of POCMONT...the large mug filled with "goodies"...some edible; others, more long-lasting! I'll enjoy them...and am sharing with my co-workers here in the office...who appreciate them, also.
Thanks for both e-mailing and faxing the revised bill...and, per our conversation after I saw the fax, I'll await the final results. :-)
Have a great weekend, and don't forget that Halloween picture.
Blessings,Roberta Schott

Just a note to thank you once again for another successful Adult Weekend at Pocmont. A wonderful time was had by all and we really appreciate all of the effort that you and the staff spent on making it so perfect. It ran as smoothly as ever and our clients raved about their stay with you. I think that the extra programming that we offered was also a big hit.

Nabisco Foods Co.
" On behalf of Nabisco, Inc. Metro Region Sales Teams, I would like to give you my heart-felt thanks for hosting our most successful metro/Philly Kickoff Meeting yet!
With the vast amount of events and meetings that our company plans each year, it is vital that we keep utilizing proven and established venues for consistent success. When the request came to secure a Pocono's area property to hold this years meeting, I researched the Pocono's area for the most perfect combination of business and conference amenities and resort style comforts and appointments. Pocmont fulfilled all these prerequisites with efficiency and grace.
In over 20 years of my corporate event planning experience, your professionalism and congenial personal care of our requirements and needs were met with enthusiasm and a reassuring manor. Our Metro Team have all attested to a wonderful and productive time at Pocmont with great food, comfortable appointments, excellent and attentive staff within your fresh and attractive atmosphere.
I will highly recommend Pocmont to all our corporate vendors, customers and clients! We look forward to our next event with the confidence that you will provide us with a job well done!."

Progressive Health of PA
Progressive Health of PA. Inc. is a residential program for brain injured adults located in Milford, PA. We bought a corporate membership to use your fitness center and pool nine months ago for our clients and staff to enjoy. We have found Pocmont Resort to have wonderful facilities and extremely helpful staff in every area of your resort. I would like to name a few key staff who are always going above and beyond their job responsibilities to assist us. Keith has been outstanding, Kelly, Jeannie and Peter have also been very helpful, cheerful and professional. Your new summer staff has also assisted us in many ways.
We recently attended your dinner buffet and show on a Friday night and had a fun-filled evening. Last week we had a pool party and barbecue that Amanda and Charna assisted us with. They both were extremely helpful and the food was GREAT! Some of my staff who have never been to Pocmont were raving about the food, facilities and service.
Thank you very much for having such a wonderful resort and conference center. We will continue to use your establishment for future special events."

"I just want to thank for accommodating us at your resort last week. Horizon Foods has hosted many retreats worldwide over the past several years and has had the privilege of staying at five star hotels.
Our experience at the Pocmont was nothing short of first rate. Your friendly staff really went out of their way to work with us and certainly exceeded our expectations.
From the very start, two people who worked tirelessly and deserve special recognition are Debra Passero and Charna Vasquez. They each contributed greatly to the success of our event. It was truly a pleasure dealing with your and your entire staff. We look forward to spending more time at the Pocmont in the future."

Dear Jennifer,
I visited Pocmont on Sunday with my husband, and Ray (at the front desk) was kind enough to give us a tour and tell us all about the property ~ he was an excellent ambassador. We also enjoyed dinner with a number of your guests.
I was impressed with your facilities ~ Pocmont has done a great job rebuilding, and the resort is certainly in a beautiful area. The staff was warm and friendly.
We will get together early next week to make a final decision as to whether we can go forward with our meeting plans (we've learned that some people booked vacations that week) and, if so, where.
Thank you very much for arranging the visit, especially on such short notice.
Regards,

Life has been so very hectic since our return from our conference at your wonderful resort, so I apologize for not sending this off sooner. I wanted to thank you personally for the tremendous service and concern throughout our four day event. Everyone on staff did a great job and, though logistics were often challenging, it all came together as a tremendous success. In particular folks noted how great the food quality and service was throughout the event.
Please feel free to use me as a reference for others as one truly satisfied customer. As I mentioned we move this event around the region each year, so we hope to be back in either 2006 or 2007!
I particularly wanted to mention the graciousness of your staff when one of our sales people needed some medical attention and Joseph personally offered to help with the man's car the following day, that was truly above and beyond.
Thanks again and I hope to see you soon.
Regards,

"... We were very pleased with most facets of our recent evening at the Pocmont, particularly the excellent wait staff, who escorted our guests to their chairs, and served dinner promptly and professionally. I had the salmon, an excellent selection, and my table guests all expressed satisfaction with their meals, as did many employees and guests throughout the evening. We were exceptionally pleased with the outstanding job in the Star Room for our cocktail hour. The food was superb, the staff extremely accommodating and the atmosphere was perfect. Kudos to your decorator, as we all felt the interior looked beautiful!
Thank you, again, for your patience as we forged our relationship with Pocmont; we look forward to another successful event next year, or perhaps sooner."

"Dear Mr. Greene:
Our Joulè Middle Management Retreat held on 8 - 9, 2002 was greeted with a great deal of enthusiasm by the staff and I want to take this opportunity to express my appreciation.
All of the staff at Pocmont Resort & Conference Center was extremely cooperative. I must, however, single out one in particular who worked exceptionally hard to make it the success it was. This is Maureen Vagelakos, who seems to have an unlimited amount of energy and holds firmly to the conviction that if it is worth doing, it is worth doing it right. It is fair to say that without her help, this event would not have been nearly as successful as it was. It has been a joy working with your fine staff."

"Dear Gregg:
I'm writing because this past weekend, I organized a "summer camp reunion" with a group of thirteen friends. I'm a big fan of Bushkill so we canoed on the Delaware and spent the night at Pocmont, which I may have mentioned to you is located near where our camp was located.
It was a great weekend and I want you to know that we all had a terrific time at Pocmont. As I expected, your staff was very hospitable, the accommodations were extremely clean and comfortable, and the food was perfect. We ate and drank plenty and I was even coerced into karaoke.
I hope you're enjoying your summer and look forward to seeing you soon".
Sincerely,
Peter Grollman
