Our Regulars

As we all know, life in a hotel changes daily, no two days are ever the same, our guests come and go constantly.
 
We do however have quite a few groups and guests that are a constant, "our regulars", I think I take it for granted that we all know who these people are, what they do, and why they're here. I've come to realise that different departments have their different regulars that they get to know - could be regular Café guests, so the Café staff all know them. Could be regular overnight stays, so the front desk and housekeeping staff know them. Could be regular meeting groups so our sales and banquet staff know them..... you get the picture....
 
 
What I'm going to do is ask these departments to share with the rest of us who these important people are, I'll call the stories "Our Regulars" - Brenda is going to start us off with info on one of her groups:
 
PS. Spot the Dragon 
 
 
This regular group is called the SPIN group, this group meets and enjoys dinner in the Café on the second and fourth Monday of every month, they are approaching their third year with us - I'll let Brenda explain who they are and what they do !
SPIN – Sales Professional Interactive Networkers
 
 
 Criteria for joining – Sales Professional that calls upon companies that retain 25 employees or more.  Heading into our 3rd year.  Meet the 2nd and 4th Monday of each month in the Windermere’s Cafe to brainstorm and share sales techniques,  failures, etc., and have a members spotlight at each meeting.  Guests are encouraged.   Currently have 14 members and our goal is to grow to 20 by the end of 2014. Only one member per category. 
 Current Chair – Courtney Hance, Hall Marketing  and I fill the seat of Co-Chair.  I will be stepping up to Chair in May when Courtney commences her mat leave
 
 
We attend many networking events as a group,  One of the hi-lights was booking a table for the Jim Treliving Luncheon at the LCC and the cancer fundraiser “Reach for the Beach” held last summer in Grand Bend. 
 Incredible group of people that I am proud to call my friends!!
