#VolunteerCLE Pop-Up Welcome Party, Wednesday 9/9

Here is a quick opportunity to welcome a bus tour of visitors to the city of Cleveland! By way of Destination Cleveland, pop-up parties are set up to show travelers that we Clevelanders are very happy they decided to stop by. I have participated in the past; I and a few others welcomed a bus load of students from Canada outside of the Rock ‘n Roll Hall of Fame. They actually said that in all of their stops to various cities…NOT ONE welcomed them off the bus they way we did! That says a lot about Cleveland, right?!

If you are free on Wednesday September 9th at 4:30PM, please email Eric Embacher (Visitor Experience Program Manager | Destination Cleveland) at EEmbacher@destinationcleveland.org The location for this welcome party is the Radisson Hotel in downtown Cleveland (651 Huron Road, Cleveland, OH 44115), and should take no more than one hour. Hope you can make it…and let Eric know I sent you! 🙂

#VolunteerInCLE Pop-Up Welcome Party, Sat 4/25

I wanted to share an opportunity brought to you by Destination Cleveland, a private non-profit organization whose mission is to drive economic impact and stimulate community vitality for Greater Cleveland through leisure and business travel. They provide a lot of ways for Clevelanders to show pride and to show those not so familiar all the city has to offer as a tourism spot:

On Saturday morning, April 25th, we will be holding a Pop-Up Welcome Party for a group of students from Canada touring Cleveland. Our welcome will take place at the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame and Museum, and we will be gathering there at 10 am.

For those of you who are new, all you need to do is show up, wear something celebrating Cleveland, say “Welcome!” and hold a sign that we will provide for you. It’s really easy, a lot of fun, and we’ll probably be wrapped up by 10:30 am. If you have kids or a pet that you’d like to bring, you are welcome to do so.

Weather permitting, we will be outside. If it rains, we may move inside the lobby of the Rock Hall, in which case, please do not bring pets.

These welcomes are a great way to show our pride and make an impression on visitors. Guests are always impressed by the welcome, and many take pictures, or want pictures taken with the welcome group. Frequently, we hear the comment, “No other city did that for us!” And that’s what makes Cleveland special!

Please note, this welcome will take place outside the Rock Hall and does not include admission, but we do encourage you to spend the day if you are able.

Please let me know that you’ll be joining us by e-mailing eembacher@destinationcle.org as soon as possible.

I think I will participate in this activity; hopefully I’ll see some familiar faces 🙂
