SANDS HOTEL & CASINO -------------------- EMPLOYMENT INFORMATON ______________________________________________________________________________ SANDS HOTEL & CASINO CELEBRATES 5TH ANNIVERSARY OF THE ONLY EMPLOYEE CHILD CARE CENTER IN ATLANTIC CITY Atlantic City, NJ --- The Sands Hotel & Casino celebrated the 5th anniversary as the only casino in Atlantic City to offer its employees an on-site employee child care center. Over 70 children each week, ranging in age from just two months through six years, head to work with mom or dad and enjoy a day of fun and education at the day care facility, which is managed and staffed by Creative Learning, Inc.,a prestigious Atlantic county-based company known for excellence in young people's education. From entry-level employees to Senoir Cice Presidents, Sands employees can enjoy a work day knowing their child is receiving excellent care and attention,that the child is just a short distance away in a secured environment and that parents can see the children during the work day if they desire. In the 90's, the two-income family for most people is a must. Employee child care offered by the Sands is many times the difference between people having the opportunity to work or remain at home. The Sands offers financial assistance for employees at the lower end of the pay scale, in the form of scholarships, for employees who can't afford to use the facility. The Sands offers $20,000 annually, which is divided up based on the employee's need and work record. The Sands employee child care facility is a key asset in recruiting new employees, as well as providing a unique service to current staffers. "When I was looking for a position in the casino industry, I was fortunate to have been offered employment from three different casinos. I chose the sands primarily because of the child-care facility," states Shakasta Walsh, Food and Beverage Executive Secretary. "As more and more mothers return to the work force, we offer the best possible solution for child-care. Many times we are told about the anxiety of being away from their children from new parents. With their children here, parents have peace of mind and they are able to spend lunch time with them or just drop in to see them whenever possible," states Jeanne Faccadio, Vice President Human Resources. In its five year history, over 400 children have been enrolled in the center. The child-care facility at the Sands is available to employees six days a week from 7 AM to 9 PM. We're five years old, and going strong! ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ SANDS HOTEL & CASINO ANNOUNCES PROMOTIONS Atlantic City, NJ --- Leonard M.
