Rabbit Hill Inn Gives Back in Troubled Economy

Everyone has been hearing of people giving back in these troubled times. The evening news even has a segment on special things that individuals are doing to assist others with a little happiness in times of need. Now you can add a member of the Distinctive Inns of New England to that list.

Rabbit Hill Inn, are proud members of Distinctive Inns of New England and Select Registry and are located in Lower Waterford, Vermont. They have been involved with the Rabbit Hill for17 years and always have known the value of the dollar and understand the meaning of hard work. They are now reaching out to individuals that have been laid off from their jobs and have developed a “Pink Slip Getaway” package, which is complimentary.

How does the Pink Slip Getaway work? If you have been laid off from your job for six months or more, they ask you to write a letter to the Inn prior to June 1st and tell them about your personal situation and family. They read each and every letter and to date have received an abundance of letters. Each month they choose a special family to come to the Inn for an all inclusive weekend free of charge. Recipients of the package enjoy all of the joys of the Inn, including a dinner, lodging, and more. There will be six packages given away in total, one each month April through July, and again in November and December.

Now that is an Innkeeper giving back!
