The Pacific-Northwest Chapter gathered for lunch at the Pearl Bar and Dining in Bellevue, WA on Saturday, April 22. Fifteen members and guests were present including Mr. and Mrs. Stefan Krasowski, who recently moved to Seattle from New Jersey. And, by chance of good timing, new member Mr. Jim Foster of Anchorage, AK was able to swing by Bellevue on his return to Anchorage from Guam. Mr. Foster gave the group a brief description of his Magellan Project, where he hopes to replicate Ferdinand’s circumnavigation 500 years later. New, local members Jim and Caroline Farrell of Bellevue were also introduced and presented with their membership certificates.

They saw all the important historical sights, as well as the modern cities with their great architecture. Everywhere they went, they were met with the friendliest of people. Paula is eager to go back to Iran. Visit the Naples Chapter website for more photos.

The Naples Chapter has held the March 12th luncheon, at the Naples Sailing and Yacht Club. We had a record turnout, with 145 members and guests attending. Our special speaker Albert Podell came from New York, to tell us all about the 196 countries that he had visited over 50 years. There were many spectacular pictures and much interesting commentary about his numerous adventures, for us to see and hear. It was a delightful, and humorous presentation, enjoyed by all.

On Sunday February 12th, 2017, the Naples Chapter members gathered for their monthly meeting at the Naples Sailing and Yacht Club. The meeting was very well attended by 124 guests, who enjoyed the usual delicious luncheon, while looking out on the many sail boats and yachts in the harbor. However, the main event was the interesting presentation given by Bill Ashley from our Washington Chapter. Bill spoke of his journey to Papua New Guinea, a country that is not very well known, nor travelled. He also showed us many fantastic looking pictures of the special tribal festival, which he was able to attend. A truly rare event.
