Venetian Macau participates in International Housekeeping Week

Another year….another reason to celebrate……

At the Venetian Macao Resort Hotel, the theme for the International Housekeeping Week this year was “We are proud of who we are”.

The opening ceremony commenced with a performance by some talented team members in the Housekeeping Department who put up a song and dance followed by the ribbon cutting ceremony by the Vice President of Hotel Operations, Mr. Mark McWhinnie and Paiza Executive Manager, Charles Ratnasingam to launch the week long celebration. Immediately after the launch all guests and Housekeeping team members were invited to tour the famous Housekeeping Hall of fame corridor to view the memorable moments captured on picture of the team in action through out the year.

Fun boat trip to Lamma Island

HK Alumni Chapter

While in Hong Kong last September Liz Lycette, Stammlady for Australia (Ecole Hotelière de Lausanne Alumni co-ordinator) had the opportunity to meet up with the Hong Kong Alumni Chapter. It is always nice when the Stamm from different Chapters can get together and exchange ideas.

The HK Alumni Chapter organised a boat trip and sailed to Lamma Island. A delicious and authentic seafood dinner was served at “Fu Kee” restaurant.  More than 20 Alumni joined, including 3 stagiaires. Yves Thoma, the Hong Kong Stammvater, hosted a very enjoyable evening along with the help of Mandy Ho, secretary.
