A celebratory crowd of 64 (including 15 guests) honored Ed Howard upon achieving his Silver Level (150 destinations) designation while Full Membership certificates were awarded to Alex Leary, Berenice Wilkinson, Louis Newman, Christine Geosling and Robert Zirgulis.
Charter Chapter Coordinator Michael Sholer welcomed guest speaker Jonathan Holburt, a TCC member who took this winter crowd on an exotic sun-splashed tour of French Polynesia, visiting the islands of Moorea, Bora Bora and Tahiti.
