westglow accolades WESTGLOW RATED #20 OF AMERICA’S TOP 25 SMALL HOTELS TripAdvisor, the world’s largest travel site announced the winners of its 2013 Travelers’ Choice awards. TripAdvisor recognizes the most outstanding properties based on the feedback from those who really matter: their guests. Westglow is honored to be included among the Top 25 Small Hotels. “World Class Resort” & “There are not enough good things to say about the Westglow. The spa is without peer. Rowland’s restaurant is excellent with impeccable service. The staff is very friendly and genuinely care about your experience.” A few weeks ago, I did something I rarely do-I sat down and watched three full hours of television. I tuned in to the airing of MAKERS a powerful documentary about “women who make America”. following the footsteps of a woman written by Linda Barbash, Marketing Director This body of work features a woman whom I admire, Bonnie Schaefer. For those of you that don’t know this remarkable woman, Bonnie is the former CEO and co-chairwoman of the board of Claire’s Stores and current owner of the Relais & Chateaux property Westglow Resort & Spa. I truly admire Bonnie’s ability to prove herself as a business leader in the male-dominate corporate world. She made her way in a man’s world, and by her own rules. She took the opportunities life offered her, and blazed a trail for all women in business. Bonnie joins a prestigious group of ground breakers. The documentary and accompanying website features interviews of extraordinary women who’ve made history – figures such as Gloria Steinem, Hillary Clinton, Barbara Walters, Ellen DeGeneres, Oprah Winfrey and many others. Bonnie shares what was expected of women growing up, and reminisces on being a girl growing up in the 50’s with the message to get married and have children. She talked about her journey to become a successful business woman, the strength Gloria Steinem’s influence gave her, and rising from the bottom-up to become CEO of Claire’s. I truly hope you watch the film. I am so proud that MAKERS.com shares Bonnie’s story. Her interview is inspiring, humbling and, personal. There is so much I admire about her. Bonnie, in so many ways defines the MAKERS woman. She keeps fighting for what’s right, and her devotion to improving the quality of life for others is reflected in her multitude of philanthropic and humanitarian projects across the globe and in her own community in the High Country. Bonnie is a testament of the importance of one woman, who makes a difference in both her local communities and the nation. This is the kind of film that makes you live life differently. I am so grateful for the many women, past and present, who fearlessly stood and still stand on the field – demanding equality and that their voices be heard. Empowering women to become self-sufficient, stand tall, seek solutions and to live brave lives of impact. In the end, it’s all about women raising women to another dimension. 6 | 800.562.0807
