The Central Florida Hotel & Lodging Association (CFHLA) hosted once again, the 2024 Patriot Day Remembrance Breakfast at the Hyatt Regency Orlando a few weeks ago. This year's program honored the memories of those who lost their lives on September 11, 2001 and the sacrifices of their families. Radio One proudly sponsored the event that drew more than 600 attendees. Our team also recognized the heroism and bravery of local law enforcement, EMS, and fire rescue workers for their heroic service and actions above and beyond in the line of duty. More than 160 first responders from across Central Florida also took part in the program. CFHLA extends a special thank you to Ocoee Fire Department Chief Thomas Smothers for serving as our 2024 Honorary Chair, retired FAA Air Traffic Control Manager Rick Kettell for serving as our Key Note Speaker and Nancy Alvarez of WESH 2 CW18 News for serving as our Emcee. Our tourism and hospitality partners remember the sacrifices made on September 11th every day of the year. #CFHLA #HospitalityStrong #PatriotDay

Last week, Central Florida Hotel & Lodging Association (CFHLA) was proud to host another Hospitality Night in partnership with Orlando City Soccer Club. This was a wonderful opportunity to bring together our hardworking hospitality team members, for a fun and thrilling night and to support Orlando's hometown team, who secured a 2-0 victory. Additionally, we were thankful for the opportunity to recognize Officer Blom as the "Everyday Hero" before the start of the match. Office Blom was one of 27 first responders who were honored with at the recent Patriot Day Remembrance Breakfast. Officer Blom, a former firefighter with the New York City Fire Department and now with the Orlando Police Department, demonstrated exceptional bravery and calm by applying life-saving measures on another officer who was wounded in the field. His actions went above and beyond service in the line of duty and were crucial in keeping the wounded officer awake and alert during transport to the hospital. Congrats again, Officer Blom, on this well-deserved recognition! #CFHLA #HospitalityStrong #PatriotDay #EverydayHero
