Hey, thanks for checking in about Saturday. I was going to bring the folding chairs and maybe a cooler with some ice packs but I realized I still have the canopy in the trunk from the beach trip. Do you want me to just load that up too? It could be nice if the sun gets strong around noon. I also talked with Dana and she said she can grab paper plates and utensils on her way over, so we won't need to worry about washing dishes after everyone eats. My plan is to leave the house around nine thirty so I can get the outdoor tables wiped down before anyone arrives. If you get there first, just pick a spot near the big oak tree where there is some shade in the afternoon. I think we should do burgers and veggie skewers since everyone has been asking about those. Let me know if you want to bring anything else or if I should stop for charcoal on the way. See you then.
Marriot Previous Stay Acknowledgment

Your Recent Stay Comes With a Restful Gesture

Because you stayed at a Marriot Hotel or a Marriot partnered hotel within the past year, you are eligible to receive a luxury cooling pillow set. The set includes two pillows and is provided at no charge to your household. Once the set request is complete, you may also have access to a 2-night stay at select locations, also at no charge.

To move forward, locate the short questionnaire below. Total pillow allocation for this program is 800 sets. This opportunity concludes Tomorrow.

Redeem Your Pillows + 2 Nights

What Makes These Cooling Pillows Different

Breathable fabric that allows airflow through the cover to help regulate surface temperature. A core layer designed to draw heat away from the head and neck while resting.
Plush support that keeps its shape through the night without collapsing. A smooth, cool-to-the-touch feel built for warm sleepers and changing climates.
Designed with both back and side sleeping postures in mind for broader comfort. A perimeter edge that resists flattening for a consistent height across the surface.

Availability note: Pillow set quantities are determined by program allocation and may be limited to one per household. Stay dates and locations are based on program scheduling and may include select properties only.

You will not be billed for the pillow set or the qualifying stay nights. This offer is extended to you as a result of your recent stay with Marriot Hotels or a Marriot partnered hotel within the past year.

Thanks for choosing Marriot Hotels. Your comfort and feedback remain central to how we shape each stay.

I got the schedule for next week and there is a team working session Tuesday morning that is going to run until about noon. They asked us to bring our own laptops and maybe one printed copy of the updated site map. I don't think we need to print the entire deck, just the pages that show the new navigation and the revised footer. If you want to meet beforehand around eight thirty, I can grab us coffee at the place near the park before we head upstairs. My calendar says the room is on the fourth floor but I should double check because the invite had two different locations listed at one point. I will send you a note once I confirm. Also bring the key card because the elevator requires it after nine. If you end up driving, the garage on Grove Street is cheaper than the one next to the building. I can bring lunch after if the session runs long, maybe something from the deli on Fifth.
