Time Well Spent!

 

As each day passes it seems like the piles of paperwork keeping growing, my AOL won’t stop saying “you’ve got mail”, and boxes mysteriously appear on my desk.  While all of these things are signs of success for the Crown Jewel Club, it gets a little overwhelming at times.  Thanks to Buying Time, there is some light at the end of the tunnel.  Aside from being a godsend, Buying Time is a personal assistant business that services the South Bay.  With kind charity they have donated 3 hours a week of assistance for the Crown Jewel Club.  I cannot tell you how much that little bit of time has helped me out.  Bibi Goldstein, a co-owner of Buying Time, has been such a joy to work with and I am so thankful for her continual charity!  I can’t say enough good things!

They don’t call it hospitality for nothing…

The Beverly Wilshire of Beverly Hills is renowned for it’s elegance and outstanding customer service; two qualities that were not lost on the Crown Jewel Club.  On December 9th, 2008, the wonderfully gracious staff at this Four Seasons Hotel welcomed our girls into their establishment for a grand tour full of beautiful sites and delicious treats!  This was a wonderful opportunity for the girls to use their learned etiquette and social skills outside of their usual comfort zones.  I have no doubt we have planted a seed of what hard work and determination can bring them. It’s generosity such as this that really makes a difference and helps further support the efforts of the Crown Jewel Club.  After a day of confident handshakes, proper table manners, and enthusiastic thank you’s, it was apparent that our program has truly made an impact on the lives of these young women. I cannot express what a pleasure it was to meet and collaborate with the employees of the Beverly Wilshire.  I’d like to give special thanks to Katherine Petty, Jennifer Cooke for making this all possible. This day will be a day they will never forget.

In further appreciation, the girls were transported to and from the hotel by CJL, who offered us an amazing discount.  I would highly recommend their services to my friends and those looking for transpiration.
