Spotlight on WTC Benefits: New
Reciprocal Clubs
The Historic Georgetown Club
Because so many WTC New Orleans members travel on a regular basis
to our nation's capital, we are pleased to announce the Historic
Georgetown Club as a new reciprocal club. This beautiful facility is
available in addition to the popular University Club located on 16th
Street.
The Georgetown Club, located on Wisconsin Avenue in the heart of
Georgetown, has been a center for entertaining prominent personages
for over 30 years. The Club resides in three old townhouses, including
the landmark 1700's building known as Suter's Tavern, where George
Washington and Pierre L'Enfant met to plan the Federal City. The
graceful common rooms are filled with imported 16th and 18th century
paneling, intricate wrought iron and Baccarat crystal chandeliers. The
seven uniquely appointed private dining rooms can seat from two to one
hundred guests, each with a separate reception area. For further
information, please call (202)333-9330.
Clubhaus
Clubhaus, Europe's leading owner and operator of golf and country
clubs, is a fabulous new addition to WTC New Orleans' reciprocal club
program. WTC members now can enjoy access to 17 dining, golf and
country clubs in the United Kingdom, France, Belgium and Germany.
For further information, please contact Natalie Rideau at 529-1601,
ext. 226.
"It has been said that great events enhance the lives of
all who participate. We want to express our thanks for the
significant role you played in producing the 'great event' for
our retirement. We were dazzled from the moment we entered the
room to the moment we left. It is easy to praise when praise is
merited. Your work is distinguished with class for which we
personally convey our gratitude."

We have very few available weekend dates left for evening parties,

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

selecting the a la carte menu or buffet are excluded from this offer.
State Department Assigns Officer to
WTC
The U.S. Department of State has
assigned Robert Konrath, a highly experienced career Foreign Service
Officer, to the World Trade Center for a one-year period which started
August 1 under the Department's Pearson Program.
Four such officers (Ed Olson, Bob Day, Mel Harrison and Ismael
Lara) previously served at the WTC under this program -- the most
officers assigned to any one organization in the country. Only seven
Pearson officers in total have been assigned throughout the U.S. this
year.
Bob is a native of California and has degrees and additional
graduate studies from Stanford, Princeton and the University of North
Carolina in political science, German and economics. He joined the
Foreign Service in 1979 and has served abroad in economic-commercial
positions at U.S. embassies and missions in Lagos, Nigeria; Asuncion,
Paraguay; Harare, Zimbabwe; Kingston, Jamaica; Geneva, Switzerland;
and Santiago, Chile. We look forward to having you meet Bob Konrath
and his family soon.
