This kind of growth can only happen with the hard work of those who are behind the scenes. There were over 40 people who helped with the openings at both Gilford and Rockport. There are 400 associates working at home making things happen, which allowed these 40 some odd people lend a helping hand.Thanks to all http://www.mchg.biz/blog/2009/06/back-to-back-openings.htmlblog@mchg.biz (Sean Riley)2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4607201876235028713.post-2261212041741754910Wed, 20 May 2009 12:48:00 +00002009-05-20T09:25:06.506-04:00On May 20th, MCHg added a new member to its family.

I drove into the Econolodge in Augusta and saw it hanging there. The Gold Award Banner. Winning the Choice hotels gold award means that our Econolodge is one of the best in the country.

When I was down in Rockport, MA, a management candidate recognized me from the blog. This was just 8 hours after I posted it. As a matter of fact, shortly after that I received an email from a banker in Hanover, NH saying how impressed he was with MCHG for having one.It isn't ironic that I mentioned these two comments.
