Montreat Conference Center Summer Employees College-Bound

Tuesday, August 11, 2009  at 9:20 AM

Montreat Conference Center is bidding a fond farewell to fifteen summer employees who will be leaving for college in the next several weeks. The group, part of the summer dining services team at Montreat Conference Center, is seen most often behind the counter flipping burgers and dipping ice cream at the Huckleberry, the conference center’s popular summer season snack bar.

“These are smart, terrific kids,” said Mary Boswell, Food Services Coordinator and manager at the Huckleberry. “They’re dependable. They work hard. And as much as we’re going to miss them, we’re really pleased to see them headed off for college.”

The group’s diverse destinations not only span the country; they literally span the globe, with one student, Stephen Brown (pictured at front), making preparations to leave for Holsby Brunn Bible School in Sweden. Also pictured (continuing front to back) are: Tyler Hester, University of North Carolina – Greensboro; Becker Raab, Virginia Polytechnic Institute and State University; Taylor Bunch, Asheville-Buncombe Technical Community College; Lee Kennedy-Shaffer, Yale University; Samuel Evans, California State University; Christopher PatiƱo, Appalachian State University; Ben Evans, Davidson College; David Rayburn, University of North Carolina – Asheville; and Josslyn Boyarizo, Davidson College. Not pictured are: Kyle Sonnenberg, Taylor University; Dan Thielman, Duke University; Will Jeter, Auburn University; Dan Frist, Asheville-Buncombe Technical Community College; and Joseph Murphy, University of North Carolina-Chapel Hill.
