Happy Holidays to Melina

This morning I was greated by a little note slipped under my door by one of our fellow tenants in the building. It was a note suggesting a holiday gift to the woman who does the housekeeping work here, Melina and her young daughter. I think that it would be a wonderful idea to show our appreciation for her hard work. As far as I can tell she's a cleaning crew of one for the entire twelve floors and she does so with a lovely and cheerful smile. I can not think of anyone in the building who earns our gratitude more.

The person who wrote the letter noted that they didn't trust leaving the front desk to collect the cash and they are probably correct to assume so. Now the spirit of the letter was a good one and I am sure they are good and honest people, but frankly, couldn't the same be said of the folks writing the letter. He suggested slipping the donation under his door. Ummmmmm ok.

I have a better idea. Why not present Melina with your gift of cash or gift card directly? Imagine how appreciated she would feel to see a great outpouring of affection from the tenants in the building. Let her know that we appreciate her. She really does do a great job.
A card or envelope with cash or a gift card to Target, Bed Bath and Beyond, Best Buy, Safeway, or wherever, would come in handy and be much appreciated at this time of year. I for one want her to know that she is being thought of by the people she cleans up after every day. I'm sure her little daughter will appreciate it as well. I urge you to open your heart for a job well done.
That also goes for the rest of the staff too. The helpful lady at the desk during the afternoons, and Tyrone in the evening do a wonderful job. If you have a favorite leasing agent drop a holiday card by and say thanks.

Giving that gift ahead of the holiday may make the difference between a happy Christmas morning and a happier one!
Thanks goes out to the thoughtful folks who suggested this idea. Also thank them for a very informative dining guide too!
Happy holidays to you all!
