I went to the orientation a few years ago with my youngest. Experience wise it looks like a great program. My turn offs were
1. Initially they make it sound like there is little or no cost to get you in the door.
2. It's not cheap
3. They give you ideas on how to raise money BUT they are not a NPO they are a for profit company so sponsors don't get a tax break.
4. The most sickening thing they encouraged people attending to borrow from their 401K's to pay for this.
5. Orientation is a well orchestrated infomercial
A funny note during the proceding is they will ask the child attending to help Mom or Dad and get form # X Y Z and fill in their name, parents name and address and check the box YES my son/daughter will be attending please charge my credit card #________ the deposit. It was priceless to see the parents cringe on that one. Real closers these people could move right into the time share business
