FEEDBACK

My wife, Charmaigne, and I would like to let you know what a good job was done in coordinating our anniversary dinner party. Everything was wonderful and the staff you had in place were very professional and helpful in taking care of any request we had for the evening.

We really enjoyed our evening with our family and friends and we would consider The Plimsoll Club first for any future events.

Sincerely,

Jerome J. Benson, Sr.

WTC & PLIMSOLL CLUB EVENTS

The "Taste of Italy" luncheon in April was a happy reunion for twenty-five of the participants of the 1999 Cultural Mission to Rome & Florence. The group enjoyed seeing old friends and sharing photos and memories! All would agree that the highlight of the trip was visiting Amb. Lindy Boggs at her villa in Rome.
