Stephanie Prima-Sarantopulos recently joined Harrison House Suites, Tucker House Inn and Coho Restaurant in the newly created position of guest services coordinator.

She will be maintaining the business’s newsletters, blogs and social networking marketing, as well as overall promotions. In addition, she will monitor participation in local functions, develop events, and assist with general guest needs and clerical duties. One of her first moves was to make the inns’ public spaces open to local non-profit agencies for meetings free of charge.

Formerly the publisher of a small food-related newsletter and producer of an accompanying cable television show, as well as a national seminar leader for Fred Pryor seminars, her communication and organizational skills as well as culinary arts training led to her selection for this position.

Prima-Sarantopulos has been a summer resident for many years, cruising during the winter months aboard the family sailboat with her husband and two chocolate labs. Last summer, she became a full-time San Juan Island resident. She is an active member in Soroptimists, and has volunteered for the Fire Department Thrift House, Chamber of Commerce Visitors Center, Island Rec activities, Trash to Treasures, Islands Oil Spill Association and, along with her husband, has adopted Wold Road in the Anti-Litter Initiative effort to keep our roads free of litter.
