A team-building exercise at Santa Fe Station didn’t just strengthen relationships between coworkers, it also strengthened the property’s relationship with the community.

About 50 team members broke down into groups to assemble bikes for local elementary students. They quickly found that there were limited resources to assemble the bicycles, forcing everyone to work together to get the bikes finished in time.

Once the bikes were finished, 10 students from the property’s partner school H.P. Fitzgerald were brought in to get the bikes. They met with the team members, who showed them their new toys (for more information, see page 46).

“I think it should be mentioned that the impact this has on the students; when they are adults they now in turn will be inspired to make a difference in children’s lives,” said H.P. Fitzgerald principal Laure C. Forsberg. “This is huge and truly does keep the cycle of giving and making a difference going.”
