They are going to <br /> move from RTP to Chapel Hill. <br /> - July was a good month but we are starting to see some cancellations trickling in for future <br /> dates, especially in September and October. <br /> - Staffing is a nightmare. We've brought all our employees to a living wage of$15/hour or <br /> higher. Due to cost raising, operations, labor, and food,we are all forced, as hoteliers,to <br /> increase rates even though demand is not where we want it to be. <br /> • Mark Sherburne—General Manager,The Carolina Inn <br /> - Mark echoed Manish's statement that summer was very strong. Stronger than most people <br /> had anticipated with orientation not being in-person and limitations on sports camps. <br /> - Right now fall is extremely strong but with the Delta variant and the new mask mandate we are <br /> fielding lots of calls of people inquiring about fall protocols. <br /> Next meeting: Wednesday,September 151h <br /> Meeting adjourned at 9:18 a.m. <br /> DocuSigned by: DocuSigned W. <br /> �ltiVlt, pmuctw �s. ie-7 <br /> Minutes reviewed by: Minutes accepted by: <br /> Laurie Paolicelli, Executive Director Anthony Carey, Chairman <br /> 9/16/2021 9/16/2021 <br /> Date Date <br /> 4 1 P a g e CHOCVB BOD Meeting August 18 , 2021 <br />
