Mahalo Moments: Westin "Amenity" & Special Swim

I'm attending a CalSAE Leadership Retreat at the Westin Mission Hills in Rancho Mirage, and the entire staff here has been absolutely amazing, from the Front Desk to Events to Catering. This evening, I received a lovely "amenity" of fruit, macarons, and mini champagne:

In addition, I made a comment during the fabulous reception this evening about how it can be disappointing for someone like me who swims for a workout when resort pools don't open early in the morning. Laura, the Senior Events Manager, then took the initiative to go chat with the security folks to arrange for one of them to meet me tomorrow morning at 6:15am at the pool closest to my room so that I could indeed do a swim workout. Wow. Totally going above and beyond. Amazing. I'm so appreciative!

Definitely mahalo moments worthy of recognition...
