Special Note

Dear Team,

Lots of FHG in the news this month. IND GM, Mike Campbell rated a full page (page 8 if you are looking) in this month's Lodging Hospitality Magazine. Mike was featured for his work with the Indiana Department of Energy utilizing a partial state grant to install a solar panel on the roof of his hotel. Great job, Mike!

Chicago area hotels CTD, CHS, ILR, and CSL were recognized at a press conference by the Illinois Hotel and Lodging Association for their efforts to "go green" as part of the IHLA Stay Green Program.

Marketing Manager, Lucy Subhasiriwatana has been named Chairwoman of the IHLA under 30 Gateway Council. The Gateway Council is a chapter of the AHLA group committed to exploring opportunities in hospitality for rising stars under the age of 30.

Soon to be opened, theWit hotel received lots of notice when 3000 applicants showed up for its pre-opening job fair. Team FHG turned out in full force to greet potential team members. Great job, Gail Lyman and Jamie Jones, who acted as "ringmasters" for the event.

Yours truly will also be featured in the May 15th Lodging Hospitality with an op ed piece titled, "Lessons from the Crisis". Heavens knows we have had enough of them!

Sincerely,

Robert J. Habeeb
President/COO
