We would like to wish Joanne heartfelt Congratulations on her retirement as she begins this next chapter. She will be missed.
Here is a short message from Joanne:
After growing up in Kitchen Kettle Village from its very start in 1954 in the garage, coming back home from college to begin the greatest learning experience ever, being a part of an incredible family business team and an ever-expanding management team, I am finally ready to retire from operations in the Village.
Beginning January 1, 2023 The Inn at Kitchen Kettle Village will come under the umbrella of my brother’s and niece’s company. So it will be a seamless transition – the same attention to detail, the same friendly faces you’ve come to know and love, and the same warm welcome to and back to the Village for our guests.
Thank you for years of growth, adventure, building relationships and happiness. My love and very best to each of my nieces as they chart their own paths just like their father, aunt and uncle did beginning a long time ago.
As for me I’m looking forward to a little bit of travel, playing with my children and four grandchildren - a trip to Disney, the example we at Kitchen Kettle have used many times for inspiration - and getting up in the morning at whatever time I please. I will also continue to keep an eye on the Village as a member of the real estate Board of Directors.
Thank you to all our guests, employees and friends of Kitchen Kettle Village. As my mother used to say, it’s been quite a ride!
