future but it's not too early to book space for Christmas parties at
the Plimsoll Club.
We have very few available weekend dates left for evening parties,
so call Barbara Montgomery or Pam Corrigan at 529-1701 right away to
reserve space for your holiday bash.
In keeping with the holiday spirit, we have a special offer for
holiday office luncheons during the month of December.
We'll give everyone in attendance a complimentary glass of
champagne with dessert. In addition, we'll organize a drawing for a
Plimsoll Club apron colored royal blue with white lettering and
piping.
This offer applies only to luncheons held in private rooms with a
banquet menu served.
Group luncheons in the main dining room or those selecting the a la
carte menu or buffet are excluded from this offer.

Spotlight on WTC Benefits:
Reciprocal Clubs
The WTC is receiving lots of positive feedback as more and
more members discover wonderful dining experiences and amenities at
the 97 reciprocal clubs in North America.
As you make your travel plans, be sure to remember these tips for
utilizing the reciprocal club program:
Contact Membership Manager Natalie Rideau (529-1601, ext. 226) in
advance so she can send a letter of introduction on your behalf to the
clubs of your choice. Please note that all private reciprocal clubs
require such notification, while WTC and 10-K Clubs do not.
Contact the reciprocal club directly for dining reservations, guest
room accommodations (if applicable), and any other pertinent
information such as parking availability and preferred method of
payment. Many clubs will bill directly to your WTC New Orleans
account.
When planning to use a club or hotel in the 10-K Network (which is
a free enrollment for WTC members), be sure to check the expiration
date of your 10-K membership and entertainment cards. 10-K memberships
expire annually and must be reinstated by calling the WTC Membership
Department at (504) 529-1601, ext. 226. A three-week waiting period is
necessary for renewal and shipment of catalogues and cards.
Take your WTC membership card with you when traveling for
identification and account number reference.
Contact the Membership Department if you would like to receive
another copy of the Reciprocal Club Directory or order the 1998 WTCA
Membership Directory containing full details on the 326 WTCs worldwide
($4 including shipping).
If you have any questions about any of the services, facilities or
publications listed above, please feel free to call us at (504)
529-1601, ext. 226.
