This one-of-a-kind outing is being organized by our friend Allesandra Guardino Montgomery, an Italian countess who has set up successful WAC journeys to Italy in the past. Along with the grand ball, you will explore key Italian cities and amazing sights, including Milan, Bologna, Modena, Parma, Ravenna and Rome. Montgomery will take you to her privately owned palace in Umbria and to Tuscany���s famous Carnival float parade in Viareggio. She will use all of her local connections to open doors that are seldom seen by tourists. Everywhere you go you���ll be joined by one of Montgomery���s friends, who will make sure our group experiences the best aspects of local culture. You���ll dine in the finest restaurants and see great works of art by Leonardo da Vinci, Sandro Botticelli and Michelangelo.

WAC Link Quarterly NEW Thursday, March 28 $3,950 per person, sharing double room (land only) NEW Taste of Italy: Cheese & Wine Thursday, March 21 Join us for an evening of discovery into Italy���s wealth of luxurious cheeses at The Cheese Cellar at Seattle Center. Owners Dennis Nelson and Theresa Simpson will introduce cheese basics, including milk types, textures and flavors. They���ll also discuss the finer points of cheese service. After learning the basics, we���ll enjoy cheese from the abundant meadows of the Piedmont to the sparser plains south of the Tyrrhenian Mountains. Each will be explored for its individuality and uniqueness, including regional attributes. Italian wine samplings paired by Amy Morris, certified sommelier and district manager for Winebow Inc., will enhance the exquisite flavors of pecorini, caprini and formaggi a latte di mucca. Don���t worry, you���ll soon know what those words mean. Event includes cheese, wine tasting and light appetizers. Cheese also available for purchase. Meet at The Cheese Cellar. 5:30���7 pm; $45; cancel by March 11 wac ��� WAC members agree WAC Link is the place for person-to-person, business-tobusiness, interest-to-interest connections. This quarterly informal mixer is fast-paced and focused on linking you to a roomful of members and the WAC. It���s easy, nonthreatening and fun. Here���s how it works: PreLink starts at 6 pm and gives everyone a chance to arrive, grab a beverage, enjoy appetizers, and be ready at 6:30 pm for SpeedLink. During SpeedLink you���ll meet 15 different people in three-minute linkups to talk about whatever you want. Everyone gets the same starter question. You take the conversation from there. After SpeedLink, there is an all-play group activity before last call. Experience WAC Link Quarterly in a different venue each time. The Johnson Lobby Lounge plays host this spring. Join us for an evening of appetizers, socializing and networking. To receive WAC Link updates and reminders, email clubprograms@wac.net and write ���Link List��� in the subject line.
