Winter Meeting and Holiday Cocktail Party

Platinum Sponsor -- ACE Recreational Marine Insurance

Friday, December 7^th

The Moshulu Restaurant, Philadelphia, PA

Calling it a restaurant sells it a little short, although they do serve food --

The Moshulu is over 100 years old, and is said to be the oldest and largest surviving four masted ship. Anyone that has driven through Philadelphia has seen it, as it is centrally located on the Philly waterfront. The location should be spectacular, the food great, and we expect to have great attendance again.

Topics will include Cargo Insurance and Marinas & Marine Liability, with details to be added as soon as they are available.

For directions and nearby hotels.
