DC Foundation Luncheon
The Washington DC Chapter held its annual Foundation luncheon on September 19. Circumnavigator Christopher Sinclair surprised International President Ellen Parke by presenting her with 12 vintage copies of The LOG, dating from 1911 to 1929. Christopher found them through an antique dealer in Atlanta. They will make a welcome addition to our Club archives and we thank Christopher for his generosity.
Send Your News for The LOG
The next issue of The LOG is in the works, scheduled for publication in early December. Please send us info for our column All Over the Map. We just need a sentence or two about members’ recent travels or upcoming trips. We also need information for Scuttlebutt. This is non-travel information about our members. For example, we congratulate UK Chapter President Helen Jenkins for her recent selection as one of the top 25 female financial advisors in the United Kingdom. The honor recognized her professional work and also her community service, including her dedicated work with the Circumnavigators. Finally, do you have a good story for The LOG? Please send all info to us at info@circumnavigators.org.
Get Your Handmade Club Badge Now
Our new Blazer Badges are now available. These badges were handmade in Sialkot, Pakistan by a skilled craftsman. Sialkot, in the Punjab, has been the center of the world’s badge making industry since the 1800s. So, when you purchase a Circumnavigator Badge you can wear it with pride. Not only because it represents our old and distinguished club, but knowing it comes from one of the most renowned badge-making families in the world, handmade in a 12th century city once part of the Mughal Empire. We now have a very limited number of badges, which cost $50 each. We will order more, depending on response, so let us know if you want one.
