Shawnee Cares

Friday September 7, 2007 (Shawnee on Delaware, Pennsylvania) – Six employees of The Shawnee Inn and Golf Resort participated in The United Way of Monroe County’s Day of Caring on Thursday, September 6, 2007. The day concluded with a picnic for the volunteers, located at and sponsored by The Shawnee Inn.

Day of Caring is a one-day event that brings together the community and provides people with the opportunity to make a difference through “hands-on” volunteerism. It also exposes them to the impact that United Way dollars have through programs in the community. Volunteers from local businesses and organizations spend a full or half day working at a local non-profit organization.

The six employees from Shawnee did volunteer work at the Pocono Area Transitional Housing (PATH). PATH is a charitable non-profit organization founded by Church Women United, local business leaders and community members. The purpose of PATH is to organize and operate housing for the care and relief of families with children in housing crisis in Monroe County.

The six Shawnee Inn and Golf Resort employees that participated in the United Way of Monroe County’s Day of Caring are Monica Startari, Director of Marketing, Jason Startari, Assistant to Executive Offices, Jennifer Hall, Director of Human Resources, Tara Brinker, Conference Services Manager, Midge McClosky, Director of The Shawnee Playhouse, and Jeromy Wo, Coordinator of Public Relations.
