International Weekend in New York City
International Weekend began with a Goodwill Reception on Thursday, October 26 at the Cornell Club in New York City. New York members welcomed fellow members from around the globe.
On October 27, members and guest honored Solar Impulse Pilot André Borschberg at a black-tie event held at the historic Penn Club in New York City. The evening began with a wonderful cocktail hour where members and guests had a chance to meet Mr. Borschberg and enjoy each other’s company. John Philip Sousa’s Circumnavigators Club March welcomed everyone into the dining room to be seated.
International President Ellen Parke welcomed members and guests to this historic event. Past President and Magellan Award Committee Chair Howard Matson gave his introductory remarks and called to the podium the Officers, Governors, Past Presidents, Chapter Presidents and representatives of the Circumnavigators Club to present the Order of Magellan to André Borschberg.
Mr. Borschberg gave an extraordinary address and a wonderful dinner was enjoyed by all.
