Jeanette Rajamaki
We will meet in the Saguaro Room at 6:30 p.m. on Thursday, the 12th of December, in Cottonwood Country Club. There are no dues—just come for brochures, refreshments, and a fun hour of information. Paula Martori, Business Manager here in Phoenix for Crystal Cruises, River Cruises, Crystal Yachts, and now the expedition Crystal Ship the Endeavor, will be our presenter. Crystal also now has aircraft that we can charter for family or group getaways.
Our December meeting will be a fun holiday event with special gifts for all. This is another segment focusing on more upscale cruising choices as well as learning about yacht cruising and new adventures to the North Pole and South Pole on Expedition cruise ships.
