Royalton Resorts fêtes kids with back-to-school treat

O n Saturday, August 24, the Royalton Resort opened its arms of charity to more than 2,000 persons. It was a two-in-one event that combined the resort’s first-ever family fun day with a back-to-school treat hosted at the Elliston Wakeland Centre in Trelawny.

On a day that promised rain, families, inclusive of scores of children, were not deterred. Everyone turned out in their numbers to enjoy a festive day, complete with fun and games, food, music and, of course, their back-to-school packages. The organisers’ careful planning bore great fruits from the start of the day to the very end, just before nightfall.

There was food in abundance. Royalton took its food and beverage team to ensure that patrons were lavished with tasty meals and an assortment of beverages for both children and adults. When the children were not indulging in the fun day cuisine, they were fully entertained by the bounce-about, mechanical bull, trampoline, ferris wheel, dance competitions and so many more activities that kept the laughter on their faces. When the heavens opened later in the afternoon, it was more akin to blessings to cool down the hot day, and as soon as it stopped, people were back to enjoying all that was prepared for them. The wetness and mud were no hindrances to the day’s festivities.

The cherry on top of a fun-filled day was generating more joy and happiness for the children when they were gifted with well-stuffed packages that included books and supplies. Families were grateful for the effort of the resort, because there were no doubts that they had been helped to alleviate the back to school expenses.

General Manager of the resort, Daniel Cazarin, spared no expenses in ensuring that the event had come to fruition and the happiness expressed proved to be a great return on his investment.

Planned by a team that included Human Resources Director Angeline Anderson, Financial Controller Terron Hewitt, and the resort’s food and beverage team, Royalton extended gratitude to Ky-Mani Marley, who sponsored the venue.
