Hospitality Maps: Maps are printed annually in March, just prior to the quilt show. Maps are taken to all hotels/motels and Whitehaven Welcome Center. Additional maps are available at the CVB office, located at 128 Broadway for your place of business.
A PDF version of the map is available here.
• Spirit of Hospitality:
Since June 2004, member businesses have the opportunity to
recognize employees who symbolize the welcoming spirit of the
organization. At each dinner meeting, employees who have
previously been nominated are recognized. A
PDF form is now available for you to download to nominate
outstanding employees.
• I-24
Landscape Project: The PHA has
been doing some exploratory work behind the scenes on the I-24
landscape project. Recently President Bob Hoppmann has been
meeting with groups, the City government, a landscape artist,
the highway department and individuals planning the landscape of
the interstate exchange at Exit 4 off I-24. Mayor Paxton has
given commitment to the project stating the City will work with
the PHA to landscape existing right-of-ways to improve the
visual character of developed areas. Kathy Keeney, City
Horticulturist, has been chosen to help guide our project to
fruition.
To get involved in this community wide endeavor, contact Bob at The Pasta House Company, 575-1997 or Kathy Keeney at the City office, 444-1339.
