Additional Super Bowl Super Service Training Sessions Being Offered

January 24, 2012 By Leave a Comment
Press Release

The Center City Development Corporation and the Wayne County Tourism Bureau are offering two additional FREE Super Service Training programs which are designed to prepare Richmond’s hospitality/frontline community with valuable information, tools and resources needed to meet our NFL visitors’ needs and questions.

Because Richmond restaurants and pubs will be natural gathering places for Super Bowl visitors and travelers, and our lodging facilities will be at full capacity, all area staff who will be interacting with Super Bowl Visitors are encouraged to attend a Super Service Training session.

Both Super Service Training programs will be held on Thursday, January 26, 2012 at 8:00-10:00 a.m. OR 2:00-4:00 p.m. at the Uptown Innovation Center, 814 E. Main St., Richmond (downtown). There is FREE 3-hour parking available at the City Parking Garage between S. 7 and 8 Streets. The presentations will cover:

  •  Super Service – exceeding guests’ expectations
  • NFL Super Bowl Impact on the area and Indy
  • Transportation/parking in Indy
  • Lucas Oil Stadium/Game Information
  • Where to obtain event updates and resource information
  • Fan Events in Indy and the area
  • Around Indiana (attractions, restaurants, culture, etc.)
  • Telling our Story – key story lines to share with visitors, and give some important  fun facts about Indiana 

Richmond has been designated as a Celebration Site by the Indianapolis Super Bowl Host Committee because of its location on I-70 and US-40 and its close proximity toIndianapolis.  Two Eastern teams will be competing in the Super Bowl – New York Giants and New England Patriots – so Richmond will have an influx of football fans heading to the big game who will need lodging, food, fuel, etc. The Super Service Training will help frontline/hospitality staff exceed visitors’ service expectations.  A Super Service Training was previously held on January 6th with 50 participants.

If you or your staff would like to attend the Super Service program and become “Super Service” certified,  call the Wayne County Convention & Tourism Bureau at 765-935-8687.  Or, email: askus@visitrichmond.org to register for the Super Service training session.

Those who attended the January 6th training are encouraged to forward this information on to other businesses and attractions or to their staff members who weren’t able to attend previously.

What Are You Doing New Years Eve In Wayne County?

December 31, 2011 By Leave a Comment

Have you made your plans yet, or are you like our family who has to see if everyone is over all their recent flu bugs to even get out of bed?

Asking people this week if they have any big plans, most are saying they are staying home with a few more lively folks saying they are going to a party or one of the New Year’s Eve events that are being sponsored this weekend.

Whatever your plans, remember to have a designated driver.  There have been rumors that AAA will provide rides, but according to the local news last evening –this is just a rumor.  So plan ahead and remember to reward your designated driver with all the non-alcoholic beverages and food they can take.

If you are still undecided, there are a few tickets left for the InConcert New Year’s Eve party at the new Firehouse BBQ & Blues club.  Tickets are 30.00/person and you must be 21 to enter.  Doors open at 7:00 p.m.  The Jonny Hazard Band will be playing live.

If you have any other suggestions of New Years Eve events open to the public, let us know by commenting at the bottom of this article.

Happy New Year To You All!!

Anonymous Donor Creates Fund to Benefit Siloam Clinic

December 16, 2011 By Leave a Comment
Press Release

Donor Offers Dollar-for-Dollar Match for Other Gifts

The Wayne County Foundation has been approached by an anonymous donor who has set up an endowed fund to benefit the Siloam Clinic in Richmond.   Additionally, this person is offering up to $5,000 more to match other gifts given to the fund between now and the end of the year.

“Access to quality healthcare is critically important,” said Steve Borchers, executive director of the Foundation.  “This is a wonderful gift that will help address that need and – we hope – encourage others to be supportive, too.”

The Siloam Clinic is an outreach ministry of Petra Project of Richmond.  It serves Wayne County residents age 13 and older who have no insurance, Medicaid or Medicare coverage.

Pastor David Eales founded the clinic in 2009 with an all-volunteer team of doctors and nurses.  Currently, there are eight volunteer physicians, more than 15 nurses, and 5 administrative volunteers who staff the clinic every Tuesday evening.  There is no cost to the patients.

“The numbers of people we help speak to the need,” he said.  “We have served more than 600 people so far and have logged in over 1,200 visits. We have also provided more than $5,000 worth of prescriptions to those who cannot purchase what our doctors prescribe.”

The fund, created at the Wayne County Foundation with $5,000 will produce an annual distribution in support of the clinic and its prescription drug program. Raising additional dollars from the community will trigger more money from the anonymous donor.  This will mean the clinic will receive a greater distribution every year.

“Our donor would very much like to see the fund be larger than $5,000 – and even larger than $15,000,” said Borchers.  “We have a real opportunity to make that happen and effectively triple the annual support to the clinic.”

Contributions to the Siloam Clinic Fund should be directed to Wayne County Foundation, 33 South 7th Street, Richmond, or through the Foundation’s online giving option at waynecountyfoundation.org.  You can call the Foundation Office at 765-962-1638 with questions.

“This fund will be very important to the long-term sustainability of the clinic,” said Pastor Eales.  “Because we keep our costs so low, the amount we could receive annually from the fund represents a significant portion of our overall operation.”
