The Reeds Spring R-IV School Foundation is thrilled to announce their third annual major fundraising effort: “PACK NIGHT at the Dixie Stampede Dinner Attraction” on Friday, March 8th, 2013. The show begins at 8:00 p.m. but the festivities start earlier with an All-Star Silent Auction at 6:30. All of the evening’s proceeds will benefit the Reeds Spring R-IV School Foundation which focuses on granting continuing education scholarships to Reeds Spring students and classroom enrichment mini-grants to teachers. In addition to the 2013 Dixie Stampede Dinner Attraction show, NFL Hall of Famer Jackie Smith will address those in attendance with a message about educational excellence and reaching for a championship. Smith played Tight End during a fifteen year NFL career with the St. Louis Cardinals and Dallas Cowboys. He participated in five Pro Bowls and played in Super Bowl XIII with Dallas.

Tickets for the event are divided into two categories. The “White Circle” seats are $25 each. The “Red Circle” VIP seats will be located closer to the arena and are $50 each. Individuals who purchase tickets in the “Red” section will have the opportunity to attend a VIP reception with Jackie Smith beginning at 6:30 p.m. These ticket prices are a great opportunity for the local community to see the new 2013 Dixie Stampede Dinner Attraction show while helping a truly worthy cause.

“We are honored that Dixie Stampede Dinner Attraction has offered to provide us such an amazing opportunity to raise money for our kids” states Jim Holt, Chairman of the Reeds Spring R-IV Foundation Board. “We are looking forward to a wonderful evening of entertainment, great food and incredible messages. I am also particularly excited about the items we are seeing come in for our Silent Auction. We truly hope the community comes out and supports these great kids of our area.”

Tickets are currently available at each of the Reeds Spring School offices. The school offices may be reached by calling (417) 272-8173.

Branson, MO (3/4/13) – Dottie Coleman, night auditor and guest service agent of the Best Western Center Pointe Inn in Branson was recently honored with the Heroic Hospitality Stars Award for the front desk. Mrs. Coleman was presented with the award at Best Western International’s Convention and Global Conference held recently in Las Vegas, Nev., in front of more than 3,000 industry peers.

The select honor recognizes and celebrates individuals who have demonstrated superior customer care and professionalism by consistently delivering a high level of service to guests. Winners must also be associated with a hotel that meets design and customer care standards, as well as other membership requirements.

Dottie played an instrumental role in keeping all guests safe during the Branson Leap Day tornado that caused damage to the Best Western Center Pointe Inn. Dottie simply did not just show up for work that night. She watched the weather report the entire day knowing that severe weather was possible. When she got to work, she ran all of her emergency reports early to be prepared. Dottie took a room map and marked where each guest was staying to cut down on her response time. When the sirens went off, Dottie did not hesitate but leapt into action knocking on doors and encouraging everyone to get into the hallway. Each guest that stayed that night called Dottie a hero the next morning. Her quick action and proactive approach kept everyone safe.

Dottie Coleman was one of only seven hotel employees to receive this award, out of all staff at the brand’s more than 2,100 properties in the U.S. and Canada.

“The Heroic Hospitality Stars Award recognizes and celebrates Best Westerners who go above and beyond for our guests and treat them like family” said David Kong, CEO of Best Western International. “We are very pleased with Dottie Coleman’s commitment to guests and to our brand’s mission of providing superior customer care.”
The Best Western Center Pointe Inn has been completely renovated since the tornado and long been a favorite of Branson visitors due to its outstanding location right in the heart of Branson’s entertainment and excellent service. The hotel features 164 rooms, indoor pool, outdoor pool, two hot tubs, and many other amenities. It is a Director’s Award-Winner from Best Western. The hotel is owned by Myer Hotels, a locally owned hotel company.
