According to the
Lite brochure I have in front of me, the check Was for One Million Dollars. When we were there in September, I asked the Tour Guide how many employees they had just to maintain the grounds, which includes some impressive flower beds. He told me everything was done by volunteers, ..except for his job and I think maybe two others..as guides.
Those volunteers do a fantastic job.
