A Special Thank You To Vincent Lopriore

A Special Thank You To Vincent Lopriore

      Wayside Christian Mission's Hotel Louisville offers real world job training to many of the women and men in our recovery program.  Besides the hands-on experience gained by working in a fully operational hotel, our work therapy participants also receive formal classroom training.  This training and hands-on experience helps to prepare our resident clients in returning to the workforce.  Recently Vincent Lopriore, Four Points by Sheraton Lexington's general manager, spent time with one of Wayside Christian Mission's vocational teachers coaching him in some of the finer points of the hospitality industry.  With fourteen years of hotel management experience, the knowledge offered by Mr. Lopriore will prove to be invaluable in our hospitality training program.  Mr. Lopriore, a native of southern New Jersey, is a husband and father who enjoys living and working in Kentucky!  When asked about his work as a busy hotel's general manager, he explained that his motivation came from his enjoyment of working with people!  And he is indeed a real people person!  Wayside Christian Mission is grateful for the time Mr. Lopriore spent in helping us with improving our hospitality training!
