Congratulations John.

If you’ve been to the movies on a Saturday over the past 20 years, you’ve probably had your tickets checked by John DeVanna. John is a valued employee who is celebrating a significant milestone this year-his 20th work anniversary. His dedication and passion for his job have made him an integral part of the theater’s team and a beloved member of the community. John has become known for his positive attitude, hard work, and enthusiasm. “I love my coworkers, and of course, getting free popcorn and drinks is always a plus,” John shared. Although he sometimes enjoys action movies, his favorite genre is horror, and he particularly enjoyed watching the new “Bad Boys” movie. John offers valuable advice to others who might have a disability and are seeking employment: “Work hard. If you work at the movies, you’ll definitely enjoy it like I do!” Next time you see John, please tell him "Congratulations" on 20 years in the movie business!!

RHI has lost a valuable part of our family. Steve will be greatly missed for his sarcasm, teasing nature, smile, kind heart, support of his friends, and love for his Ohio sports teams among many other reasons. We were blessed to have Steve as a part of our Renaissance House family for almost 30 years! We love you Steve!
