Tourism Cares Announces Site of 2007 Cleanup Event
Oct. 23, 2006 – Tourism Cares is pleased to announce that the site of the Tourism Cares for America cleanup event will be Virginia City, Nevada. The organization expects more than 300 travel industry volunteers will gather at this historic mining city from May 17-19, 2007. This national historic site was once "the richest place in the world" as it produced gold and silver believed by some to have financed the Civil War.

"This restoration project fits our mission perfectly as it combines our mission to bring the tourism community together to give back as well as to preserve and restore an historic site." said Lisa Schmiemann, Tourism Cares’ Director of Development and coordinator of the event.

More information will be available soon.
