You're Invited
Join us on February 27 for an up-close look at the 2014 USS Constitution Model Shipwright Guild exhibit. Featuring over 100 mini masterpieces from the last decade, this show is the best of the best!
For 35 years Members of the USS Constitution Model Shipwright Guild have amazed those of us less adept (and less patient) with their talented craft. If you have ever wondered, "How do they get that ship in a bottle?" or "How long does it take to build a model ship?", guild members will be on hand to answer your questions and demonstrate the technique, time, and skill required to build a model.
February 27, 2014 | 5:30 pm - 7:30 pm
Building 22 - Charlestown Navy Yard
This event is FREE and includes a light reception. Reservations required and guests welcome.

| Dear members and friends:
I have to tell you how really excited I am to be starting the New Year off with such an incredible team of individuals. The 2014 GBCA Board of Directors has been working diligently to ensure the transition into the New Year has been seamless.
I am proud to say this team has taken what the hard working 2013 Board of Directors put in place and they are eager to enhance and add to its exciting growth. The dedicated e-mail invitations will continue, making it much easier for you to reach our officers with any questions or concerns you may have. Also the new system allows our members to RSVP for meetings and events in a timelier manner. The newsletter gets better with each month highlighting vibrant photos; wonderful articles and the opportunity for our members to share their exciting news and events. The GBCA web site is in the process of being updated to share our information with the world! The concierge membership participation increases with our goal of having every hotel in the Greater Boston area well represented. Our "Marketing Opportunities with the GBCA" is a great way for businesses to network with the GBCA, so please be sure to share this page with any business interested in learning more about our organization.
And finally the piece de resistance, the GBCA Affiliate Trade Show is coming soon! Congratulations to Affiliate Representative Meg Worth for securing the Black Falcon Cruise Terminal for this incredible event. Please reach out to Meg to see how you can participate in making this event a huge success. Many volunteers are needed and we appreciate all of your participation and support.
I would also like to thank Blue Magruder; Director of Communications and her team at the Harvard Museum of Natural History for hosting the GBCA all member meeting on February 10, 2014. Thank you to all of the restaurants that participated in the lovely reception, donating such an array of delicious cuisine: Anthony Keller of BoLoco, Nami Zylbersztajn of UNO, Paul and Tedd Lee from Hong Kong and Billy Schuster from Legal Seafoods, you all had a big part in making our meeting a huge success. Thank you to Ellen Silverman, Sales and Marketing Manager for Super Tours who donated transportation from down town Boston for our members and Dan Andrew and his guides of Trademark Tours who volunteered their time to direct our members from the Harvard Square T Station, your assistance and support is greatly appreciated by our members. Please take a moment to read the minutes from that incredible meeting and be sure to look up our hosts, donators and speakers and share with them your appreciation for their participation.
Again, I want to thank you our members for supporting our officers in their duties and I look forward to seeing all of you at the next GBCA All Member Meeting at the New England Aquarium on Thursday, March 13, 2014
With Pride in Service, you're President
Betty Salemme
