It is with great pleasure that I write this letter on behalf of District A-5’s 2017 Lions Convention.
This was the first convention I have organized and I was overwhelmed by the amount of work I was required to do. You, Mona, and Rod Duhaime, made my job much easier than it would otherwise have been.
Pre-convention meetings were assisted with your helpful ideas and the old plans from Lion Ron Anderson who chaired our 2012 Convention at your hotel (then known as the Comfort Suites).
All your staff are to be commended on the way they conduct themselves and how hard they worked to make our week-end a success. They were open to last minute changes, additional numbers and some serious dietary requirements. Rod even managed to surprise our former Chair, Lion Ron, with his favourite vegetable, instead of what was on the menu! Kudos, Rod, Lion Ron was impressed.
In 2012 your hotel was undergoing major renovations. Your rooms are now the best. Clean, attractively decorated and well maintained. Even your staff cleaning the halls during the week-end became familiar and joked and encouraged me as I travelled the hallways.
Our annual convention rotates around North/Eastern Ontario, but rest assured if it returns to Sault Ste. Marie, I will be recommending your hotel as the best, with absolutely no reservations.
In closing, our heartfelt thanks for making this a successful week-end for our convention.
