Each year the Seattle Propeller Club’s Steamship Dinner brings together steamship operators, agents, terminal operators, shippers, suppliers, transportation and logistics companies and other industry folks all along the West Coast. It’s a terrific opportunity to entertain clients, network, catch up with friends and enjoy a fabulous dinner followed by music and dancing.

Call Polly at the Marine Exchange for a  reservation form which must be received with payment by March 23rd. Please be sure to indicate your choice of entree and seating preference.

For those of you wishing to stay the weekend, reserve a room at the Seattle Marriott Waterfront for a special rate of $135. Reservations are required by Friday, March 2nd. To take advantage, call 1-800-228-9290 and ask for the Steamship Dinner rate.

Make sure your company is seen at the event by sponsoring the event! Be an Admiral sponsor for just $2,500. Or choose to sponsor at the Captain or Commander levels. Check out the available opportunities and request a Sponsor Form.

Don’t forget about the silent auction! Your generous donations help support the Sea Scout’s Spirit of Propeller. Need a hint? Spa packages are great!
