The Clement Palo Alto Participates in Ronald McDonald House Programs, The Wishing Tree and Meals for Munchkins, During Holidays

For its first holiday season, The Clement Palo Alto, which opened in March, will not only decorate the hotel in holiday finery, but participate in the Ronald McDonald House at Stanford Wishing Tree, which will help families with critically ill children staying at the House.

Palo Alto, CA, October 17, 2016 — For its first holiday season, The Clement Palo Alto, which opened in March, will not only decorate the hotel in holiday finery, but participate in the Ronald McDonald House at Stanford Wishing Tree, which will help families with critically ill children staying at the House.

Each fall, the house creates hundreds of paper ornaments, each one listing a needed household item or toy for the house or our families. The Wishing Tree in the lobby of The Clement will be decorated with these ornaments and help provide comfort and support to families who must spend their holidays far from home.

Ronald McDonald House at Stanford creates a home-away-from-home and supportive community for families of children with life-threatening illnesses receiving specialized treatment at local hospitals.

In addition to the Wishing Tree, The Clement is also participating in Meals for Munchkins, a program of Ronald McDonald House in which families, co-workers, local restaurants, civic organizations, and many other groups provide meals to the children and their families three to five days out of any given week.

The Clement is providing a team of volunteers who will provide for and prepare meals in November and again in January as part of the program.

The volunteers choose a menu, shop for groceries and cook dinner for 85 family members and kids receiving treatment at Lucile Packard Children’s Hospital in Palo Alto. In the past, menus have included spaghetti and meatballs, tacos, grilled cheese sandwiches and tomato soup, and chicken and fresh vegetables.

And, in addition to the Wishing Tree and the beautifully decorated lobby, the hotel will be serving hot cider and fresh-baked cookies during the holiday season.

The Clement Palo Alto opened its doors March 2016 and is one of the most innovative, personalized and unique luxury hotels in the country.

With 23 spacious and richly appointed one-bedroom suites, The Clement Palo Alto sets a new standard for personalized luxury accommodations in a contemporary residential-style atmosphere.

While unparalleled service is key to any great luxury hotel, The Clement Palo Alto takes its impeccable service to another level with an all-inclusive concept, including personalized concierge services, breakfast, lunch and dinner in an on-premise location of the guest’s choice. All wine, beer and cocktails, in-room mini-refrigerator (stocked with the guest’s favorites), and fully-stocked Guest Pantry available around the clock, are just a few of the amenities included in this all-inclusive experience.

In fact, The Clement Palo Alto is more than all-inclusive, it is all-exclusive, catering exclusively to the guest’s personal tastes and desires.

The Clement Palo Alto is ideally located across from Stanford University and next to downtown Palo Alto, with its award-winning restaurants, world-class shopping and upscale spas. It is just 45 minutes south of San Francisco and only 30 minutes north of San Jose, not only making it convenient, but easily accessible to the world-famous sights and myriad activities of both cities.

Overall, The Clement Palo Alto offers a unique, one-of-a-kind 6-star experience in the heart of Silicon Valley with unparalleled personal service, all-inclusive luxury and privacy in a warm, inviting and luxurious residential environment.

SmartTOP Additional Top Control for the Chevrolet Corvette C7 is Now Available

As of now the SmartTOP control from Mods4cars is also available for the Chevrolet Corvette C7. The retrofit convertible module enables the operation of the convertible top while driving with one touch function. In addition, the roof can be opened and closed from afar via the cars key.

Las Vegas, NV (USA), October 17th, 2016 — The manufacturer Mods4cars announces that the retrofit SmartTOP control for the Chevrolet Corvette C7 is in stock. “We have listened to the multiple customer inquiries and are happy to now offer a comfort smart solution for the Corvette C7,” says PR spokesman Sven Tornow.

The roof module made by Mods4cars is retrofitted into the vehicle and lightens the convertibles day to day with clever additional features. The SmartTOP enables one-touch operation of the convertible top. The interior button must therefore not be held down throughout the entire top motion movement. Instead a quick tap is enough for the roof to be opened or closed automatically.

Furthermore, the operation of the roof from a distance is made possible via the original vehicle keys. Top motion can then be initiated with a combination of keys on the remote control. The corvette driver can then already open their top when moving toward the vehicle. Conversely, it is also possible to close the roof from a distance, e.g. if it suddenly begins to rain. No changes to the original vehicle key is required.

Like every SmartTOP, the comfort module also offers useful additional functions for the Chevrolet Corvette C7. “A very special feature is the automatic raising of the window after closing the top,” explains PR spokesman, Sven Tornow. “It is no longer necessary to manually put up the window after the top motion movement. This saves time.”

In addition, the windows can be opened and closed via the remote control. Starting or stopping the engine does not interrupt the current top motion. The module can be deactivated at any time. And all functions of the SmartTOP roof module can be programmed to your personal wishes.

A mounted USB port on the SmartTOP module allows connection to a home PC/Mac. Thereby, the roof module can be easily configured. Moreover, uploading of software updates is made possible, which Mods4cars offers free of charge.

The included plug-and-play cable set and ease of access ensure for an easy installation. With a simple interlock, the connection between SmartTOP and vehicle electronics is established. No lines need to be cut, which is why a traceless dismantling is possible at any time.

The comfort control for the Chevrolet Corvette C7 is available for 339,00 Euro + tax.

Mods4cars offers SmartTOP comfort modules for the following vehicle brands: Alfa, Audi, Bentley, BMW, Chevrolet, Ferrari, Ford, Infiniti, Jaguar, Lamborghini, Mazda, Mercedes-Benz, Mini, Nissan, Opel, Peugeot, Porsche, Renault, Volkswagen and Volvo.

About Mods4cars:
Mods4cars was founded in 2002 from the idea to add a highly demanded feature to the otherwise almost perfect Porsche Boxster: Comfort One-Touch roof operation while driving at slow speeds. The resulting product offered not only that, but also allowed quick and easy installation by just swapping out a relay box, thus leaving no traces and no permanent changes on the vehicle. The first SmartTOP roof controller was born.

The success of their first products in Germany and Europe prompted them in late 2004 to move operations to the USA, to be able to serve the American market as well as all other English speaking countries such as Australia, UK and South Africa from one central location. Their business has grown to a full-fledged international corporation with an office in Las Vegas and a full line of innovative products as well as distributors and installation partners all over the globe.

Being highly specialized in the development and distribution of aftermarket roof- and comfort controllers since 2002 allows them to offer an unsurpassed level of competence and product quality. Their main goal is optimization of each individual product to a maximum in compatibility, usability and intuitive operation. They put greatest effort into development and quality checks of all their products to achieve this goal and meet all expectations of their customers.

The extraordinary success of their products is also based on the great communication with their customers, which usually already starts for each new product during the development and prototyping phase.
