Visitor Center Volunteers Enjoy Gathering for Breakfast and Fellowship
By: Regan McKay, Economic Development and Tourism Assistant
The Orange County Department of Tourism was excited to host the Orange County Visitor Center volunteers for a morning breakfast on March 22, 2022. The goal was to bring the current volunteer staff together and let them know how much they are appreciated. After limited interactions for two (2) years due to the pandemic, everyone welcomed the opportunity to mingle. Gathering everyone together presented a great opportunity for volunteers to ask questions, and for staff to receive feedback about how the Visitor Center can better serve the greater community. The Orange County Visitor Center is located within the historic Orange Train Depot, at 122 East Main Street, Orange. It is one of very few visitor information centers in the Commonwealth that is staffed by volunteers. Currently, twenty - three (23) of these volunteers greet Orange County visitors with friendly faces and provide decades ’ worth of collective experience guiding travelers. Do you like helping people? Are you familiar with Orange County and its many great attractions? Consider becoming a Volunteer Travel Counselor! Becoming a volunteer at the Orange County Visitor Center can be a very rewarding experience and does not require an extreme time commitment. Volunteers are required to be available for just one (1) 4 - hour shift per month, but can be scheduled for additional openings if they choose. Interested? Contact Regan McKay at (540) 672 - 1238, or rmckay@thinkorangeva.com, for more information! The Department of Tourism would like to thank the Visitor Center volunteers for their continued support throughout the years, and is looking forward to a great year ahead!
