Alfred, Reservation Manager
A California native, Alfred, our Reservation Manager, wouldn’t think of living anywhere else.  His dedication to the hospitality industry began at a luxury resort in Monterey, California where he got his start more than 10 years ago. Working with excited vacationers and appreciative tourists, but always putting his family first, Alfred honed his customer service skills before returning to Los Angeles to raise his two sons in the same neighborhood he grew up in. Alfred worked as a Group Coordinator at a Beverly Hills hotel for 7 years before joining The Ambrose Family in July of 2007.

When the wildfires struck, the American Red Cross opened 26 shelters in Southern California, providing a safe place to stay for approximately 6,000 evacuees at the peak of the fires.  Some 5,000 Red Cross disaster relief workers — more than 90 percent of them volunteers from all 50 states – rushed to ensure that survivors had shelter, food, and comfort. Survivors are now receiving clean-up supplies, counseling, basic healthcare and family connecting services. In the coming weeks and months, the Red Cross will continue to work with community partners to identify resources that can aid in the long term recovery of survivors.
This level of response would not have been possible without ongoing donations to the American Red Cross Disaster Relief Fund. In the wake of Hurricane Katrina, the Red Cross has made investments to improve its response capabilities, such as pre-positioning cots and other supplies in strategic locations across the country. While the Red Cross believes that due to the extraordinary generosity of the American public, current financial donations and pledges will be sufficient to cover the estimated costs of the California wildfires, donations are still urgently needed for the Disaster Relief Fund.
“We are extremely grateful to the American people for their outpouring of support to the victims of the California wildfires. Now that the cost of this response is essentially met, we hope the public will continue to support our Disaster Relief Fund, which enabled the Red Cross to respond quickly, effectively and compassionately to the California wildfires,” said Mark W. Everson, President and CEO of the American Red Cross. “Continued donations to our Disaster Relief Fund will ensure, just as it did in Southern California, that help is immediately available in communities across the United States whenever disaster strikes.”
