Greystone Fellows Conquer Yosemite's Half Dome

On July 9th three determined Greystone team members (Norbert Mede, Marc Horodas & Bertrand Newson) were part of a hiking expedition team. The group attacked the trail leading up to Half Dome at the crack of dawn. Fortunately everyone made it to the peak of Half Dome & back safely! In all, nearly 7,000 ft @ the peak, 12 hours & 14 miles filled with breath taking water falls & the hike of a lifetime!

Check out the great photos!

SF Cluster Team Fitness 5K Walk/Run

On Sunday August 28th, team members along with family & friends participated in the SF Golden Gate Park Cross Country 5K Walk/Run! As part of the wellness/fitness movement led by GM's Norbert Mede & Bertrand Newson, it was great to see so many people make the time, effort & commitment by participating in this fun team building event.

The true meaning of teamwork was displayed following the 5K Run/Walk as each participant helped set up for the SF Cluster BBQ Picnic later morning (blog story/pictures to come)!

Congratulations to Norbert Mede for posting the fastest race time within the Greystone group!

Go Green Team!

On July 23^rd, members of the Hotel Griffon “Green Team” volunteered a Saturday to replant seedlings at the Golden Gate National Recreation Area greenhouses at Fort Funston in San Francisco. Team members Matt Swenson, Front Office Manager; John Judan, guest Services Agent; and Norbert Mede, General Manager transplanted native bushes, grasses and flowers which will be used for flora and habitat restoration projects this fall at Muir Beach in Marin County. This is a part of the on-going environmental policies and mantra at the Hotel Griffon as we try to mitigate the environmental impact of our business in pursuit of neutral impact on our world.  

Congratulations to Eloisa!
