RESORT TEAM SPOTLIGHT

Baby On Board

You could say our Five Star Employee of the Month, Lindsay Whitefield, has her hands full.

When she’s not busy getting great guest feedback on how warm and friendly she is, Lindsay is at home with Sadie (2), Avery (15 months), and baby #3 who's due in July. (Pssst! It’s a boy!)

Until then, watch for Lindsay’s smiling face in Guest Services.

And from our family to yours, congratulations on all fronts Lindsay!
