Joint IACA/PBSS/IAAHS Closing Session |

Plenary |




We will create the feel and fun of a New England Clambake as if we were on the beaches of Cape Cod or Martha’s Vineyard with a natural décor of beach grasses and flowers such as hydrangea, roses, and summer styled field flowers which speak of New England beaches and islands.
To enhance the theme the cocktail area will be accented by beach umbrellas and the entrances will be flanked by beach grasses, local style flowers and garlands of beach balls and summer hats and with the natural sounds of the ocean in the background the feeling of a beach party will be complete.
