(Employees, families and friends of Guest Services gathered for the second annual Clean-a-Park Day at Hains Point in Washington, DC.)

Clean-a-Park Day Goes Viral at Guest Services --
Guest Services employees across the country commemorated Earth Day 2010 by sponsoring clean-up activities at the parks in which they operate.

On the East Coast, corporate headquarters employees, families and friends led by Doug Verner, Vice President and General Counsel, spent the morning of April 24 cleaning up after the ravages of a stormy winter at Hains Point park in Southwest Washington, DC.  At the end of the morning, they had filled more than 40 trash bags with debris and left the park more beautiful for their efforts.  In Florida, representatives from the Hospitality South division gathered to clean Barefoot Beach in Collier County, and have planned a second clean-up day for October.

On the other side of the country, employees at Mount Rainier staged a similar event and filled a two-yard dumpster with trash; and Canaan Valley Resort employees gathered to clean up the Nature Center and prepare it for the summer despite uncooperative weather.

April 23 has already been designated as Clean-a-Park Day for 2011, so hope for sunny skies and join your co-workers for a feel-good event that makes a real difference to the parks we all know and love.
