Aloha, from Maui. Your winning Team Members enjoyed a Monday Night Old Fashioned Luau. We had an awesome dinner along with entertainment from the authentic Hawaiian Dancers as they told us the story of their ancestors who settled the beautiful Island and shaped the culture as it exists today. Deep in tradition and family, just like the Proforma Albrecht family. Our winners have had a great week in Hawaii developing friendships and sharing their experiences in paradise . There have been lots of "Best Practices" shared as well, you can't keep this crew from talking shop. :-)  |

Wednesday, Proforma Albrecht & Company took over the Hula Girl, a 65 foot sailing catamaran for a day of snorkeling and scuba and just plain fun sailing the Pacific. We got a special treat from a local Dolphin who decided to join us along the way while we were under full sail. This photo was captured by Chris Bowles, our newly appointed 'Wild Life" photographer! He was so close to the boat, we could almost touch him when he gave us this thrill.

Not to be outdone, this friendly Whale wanted in on the act. She gave us a once in a lifetime show of her own. I have no idea how Suzie arranged for our "Ocean Friends" to give our Dream Promotion Winners the thrill to experience the day like none other, but once again she found a way! Dream Big and you will achieve more than you could ever expect.
