Talk about turning lemons into lemonade! Last week the TACA Silver Cup Luncheon at the Hilton Anatole was canceled due to icy streets and the well-being of guests. Despite efforts to notify folks, 100 still showed up.
The Anatole team handled it like true hospitality-industry professionals. They fed the 100.
But there was more. Instead of tossing the food or feeding fellow staffers, they packed up the hundreds of leftover luncheon meals and had them delivered to The Bridge. The timing couldn’t have been better. It seems that The Bridge was being hit for meals and wasn’t quite prepared for the onslaught.
Thanks to TACA and the Hilton Anatole, guests were safe and sound and art-loving philanthropists ended up providing the needy with a meal on a frigid day.
