Oct. 25, 2007. Heber Springs, AR – Don and Marlene Boothroyd are the 2007 recipients of the Workampers of the Year award presented by Workamper® News. The Boothroyds were nominated by their employer at Salt Lake City KOA, Darren D. Menlove.For two seasons, the Boothroyds have Workamped for Salt Lake City KOA in Salt Lake City, Utah.

The nomination came “based on their competence, friendliness and high customer satisfaction.” Darren said. “Don and Marlene went way beyond their job description. We had many positive comments from our guests about the extra effort and treatment that Don and Marlene gave to them.

Don, “Mr. Fix-It’s,” primary responsibilities were in maintenance, specialty electrical projects and helping guests with special needs. “He was able and willing to take on any task from defining the problem with street lights and finding the remedy, to testing and fixing many of our utility systems,” Darren said.Marlene, “The Sunshine Lady’s,” primary responsibilities included meeting guests at the registration desk, escorting them to their RV sites and making sure they had everything they needed. “Marlene asked for and took on the responsibility of designing and implementing our ‘Guest Activities Program.’” Darren said. “These events were as varied as ice cream socials, children’s crafts and games and musical performances.”

These Workampers were chosen out of the nominations sent in this year after the contest was announced in the Workamper® News July/August issue. The Boothroyds will receive a framed certificate, $100 Gift Certificate to the Workamper® Bookstore and a mention in the Workamper® News November/December issue. They will be presented their award at the ARVC/KOA 2007 Convention in Phoenix, Arizona the second week of November.
