You are cordially invited to join us for the Plimsoll Club's 35th Anniversary Dinner Dance on Saturday, May 18 |
||||
|
In 1967 the Executive Committee of the International Trade Mart (one of the two predecessor organizations of the World Trade Center of New Orleans) decided on the name Plimsoll club for the dining facility that was then under construction at the top of the ITM Building at the foot of Canal Street and the Mississippi River. This distinctive name came from the Plimsoll Mark, the universal safe-loading symbol which is painted on the side of ocean-going vessels throughout the world. After years of battling in the House of Commons for safe maritime conditions, Samuel Plimsoll, MP. was eventually successful in having a law passed in 1876 requiring ships of British registry to display the load line which became known worldwide as the Plimsoll Mark. To celebrate the naming of our world-renowned Plimsoll Club, please come and celebrate this 35th anniversary on Saturday, May 18th with a sumptuous English dinner and dancing. Chef Keith is featuring an English fare. Enjoy dancing to the music of HERB TASSIN’S FIVE PIECE BAND from 7:30 PM to 11:30 PM. The cost of this evening's extravaganza is only $47.50. The doors will be open at 7:00 PM. Make reservations for the time you prefer between 7:00 PM and 8:00 PM by calling Shelly Cantrelle during the hours of 8:30 AM until 4:00 PM.
