I don't think either of us has mentioned the international contingent here. Each year Tonya - the HR director - goes to an international job fair to recruit students for the summer. She has had a great deal of success with students from Poland. This year we also have students from India, England, and Nigeria.
Yesterday I met my first three of them, Evelina (sp?), Evelina, and Sarah, when they needed a ride into the village. The Evelinas are Polish, and Sarah is a Brit. They are lovely young women who are quite sophisticated travelers. Their English is good (especially Sarah's!), and they are charming. It turns out that Judy had met the same three earlier in the day.
Yesterday I was on shuttle duty and drove into Warrensburg - the nearest town - to pick up some more students from the bus. These four were also Polish - 2 girls and 2 boys.
The students are housed in trailers. (The boys and girls are far apart.) They are pretty nice facilities, and the students' compensation includes meals. I don't know how much they get paid, but it seems like a pretty good deal.
Two of the students I met will be working with us in the Fun & Games department. Others will be working in the fun house (arcade) and in the cafe. It's a great experience for the students, and another learning opportunity for our guests.
Our regular season schedule starts Friday, and then we will start to get a feel for what the summer will really be like. The REAL season starts the following week when the New York schools let out.
