How does one express their thanks to people when there is an emotion involved WAY beyond words. I came to Joplin not knowing totally why I had decided I needed to be there. I knew nobody and had no clue what was in store for me. The FANTASTIC people at the Holiday Inn took tremendous care of me from the minute I entered their hotel. 
 Amanda and Kourtney greeted me with smiles that would melt the heart of the most stone hearted person.  They made sure I had a great room, plus, they made sure I had breakfast, which was a rarity with my schedule. 
  Jina, Mallorie, and Melinda made sure I knew what kinda costume I needed for the after party and that I was headed in the right direction to the right place. Â
  These people are a wonderful group of people who the Holiday Inn should feel privilege to have in their employment. They talked to you from the heart and had a real interest in making sure that all the people who turned to them were happy.Â
From the bottom of my heart I thank you for your heart-felt warmth.
