I wanted to update my review and redact some of my original viewpoints. I do believe that this organization provides beneficial services to some that are 55+. I am glad that you are able to enjoy its benefits. However, I was never able to join the organization because the owner did not think I had the correct tools to be a part of this group, i.e., cell phone and/or GPS. We never really discussed any of this. I was threatened with a lawsuit as noted below if I would not remove a "negative review".
"You are being asked by me today to take down the Yelp review in 24 hours or we go to court. It will be costly and unpleasant. If you think that writing that type of review over an email is OK without you ever being a member of my organization - that is slander. My lawyer has already advised me that you will not win without having met me or even having ever been a member of Silver Connections. An email is not sufficient cause to slander someone's business.
I am meeting with my lawyer and business manager on Tuesday morning and will move forward if the review is not gone by then.
When a person apologizes and you still will not accept that apology and if I offered to put this behind us and meet and you still will not understand that we all make mistakes, then I have no other option but for this to become much, much more ugly than it could have been if you do not remove the review.
I have no bad reviews anywhere because I have run a successful business for 15 years dedicated to those age 55+. My lawyer has said "that in itself will be a testament in the courts." He is ready to bring in my members as witnesses and all my venue partners in the Triangle to how much they love our group and my leadership.
I have been advised to block any communication from you moving forward and I have done so."
I only post this for informational purposes. It is in no way to hurt the owner, but this kind of behavior is unacceptable. And it only got worse from there.
The owner did a good response on her review to the original review that was posted and sent it to me on Yelp. However, she made all time Yelp history, according to the representative I spoke to, at sending the same response to my email the first day at over 50 times.

On the second day she sent another six before Yelp contacted me, and I emailed Yelp the log of these responses. Finally, the owner stopped the harassment.
My only word of caution if you want to become a member of this association is that the owner can be volatile as is noted above. Once again, this is based on my personal opinion. I wish you the best. read more
