Some of our favorite memories of the 2008 Philadelphia Hospitality year are captured in the images below.


Mada Ray Morehead of Tempe, AZ, Paula Markert of Toxaway, NC and Lorene Junkin of Gainesville, Fl loved the opening reception of Philadelphia in Full Bloom, our program that attracts individuals from across the country and the world to Philadelphia for the Philadelphia Flower Show.	Excitement for Vision 2009 escalated as the Philadelphia Hospitality staff viewed the Phillies’ victory parade 17 floors beneath our office windows.


Members of the Collectors’ Club from The El Paso Museum of Art pause for a remembrance of their June visit to Nancy and Ben Heinzens’ lovely home.	Executive Director Bill Mifflin joins the Women’s Garden Club of Montreal for a visit to the charming home of Peggy Duckett.


An appreciative member of Choose and Cherish, a group of antiques enthusiasts, thanks Marie Schwarz for her hospitality.	Doreen Mackie and Eileen Green, who learned about Philadelphia Hospitality from a pleased former client they met at a Venitian flower show, came all the way from the UK to be part of our Philadelphia in Full Bloom program. Doreen recently wrote, “My folder on the whole holiday is very dear to me and provides a happy reminder of the trip to Philadelphia.”


The Nelson-Atkins Museum of Art (Kansas City, MO) pose in front of Vice A Versa by Richard Serra at the home of Marsha and Jeffrey Perelman.	Guide Mary Mason (at left) was assisted in the program for Metso Chemical by leader/interpreter Mrs. Yanli Wang. Here, the group gathered before lunch at the Union League.


The Philadelphia Ambassadors, Philadelphia Hospitality’s Dragon Boat team, line up for practice before their next race.	The Philadelphia Ambassadors, back in our offices, receive their medals and celebrate their terrific 2nd place finish.
