Before we look back at August, we want to remember someone whose music, kindness, and legacy have meant so much to this community.
We will always love you, Dolly. ❤️
And through it all, August gave us plenty of reasons to come together. Here's our month:
🇩🇴 Aug 3: We welcomed our partner SHANCHE Dominican Republic to Tennessee for a firsthand look at the Orange Hospitality experience, reconnecting with participants and seeing the program in action.
🤠 Aug 5: The Exchange Day Rodeo with IRH brought everyone together for a night of fun, new friendships, and cultural exchange.
🎢 Aug 14: Team Orange in Branson headed to Worlds of Fun in Kansas City for a full day of rides, roller coasters, and summer memories.
⚽ Aug 19: Different countries, same language. Exchange Day at Stockstill Park brought soccer, volleyball, games, and new friendships together with the support of CIEE.
🌎 Aug 21: The International Appreciation Event in Branson celebrated our international community with food, music, games, dancing, and plenty of Team Orange energy.
⭐ Aug 24: OH Star Spotlight: Hong Li Lim was recognized for his initiative, adaptability, attention to detail, and the positive attitude he brings to the Ober Mountain team.
🏆 Aug 28: We celebrated Madeline Martinez, our August Employee of the Month! Working with both Orange Hospitality and The Peddler Steakhouse, Madeline stood out for her commitment to learning, growing, and always being ready to support the team.
From cultural exchange to summer adventures and people worth celebrating, August reminded us what being part of Team Orange is all about. 🧡
