FROM THE PRESIDENT
Although I’m writing this note to you with snow
covered ground still throughout the city, it is my hope
and expectation, that by the time you are reading this
newsletter, the grass will be beginning to green, spring
will be in the air, and the Orioles season about to begin.
At this same time, we hope to see those of you who live
and work within walking distance of The Center Club
far more often for lunch, happy hour, dinner or a quick
stop with friends in our still new Orioles Pub on the 16th
floor. Don’t forget how easy it is to pop over to the Club
for a bite before, during, or after a game.
And for those of us who still need to drive to the Club to enjoy its fine food and
ambiance, it’s time to end our winter hibernation – time to come back downtown
to our beautiful city and enjoy the most memorable and impactful dining and
social opportunity in town. We hope you will come often to enjoy our new menus
(and don’t forget, you can now split your check if you wish with your non-member
guests who wish to pay by credit card). Seriously, can you name me a place that
makes it easier to park (underground and complimentary at dinner) to enjoy a
stroll around the harbor and a magnificent meal prepared by Chef Bannan.
Andreas is eager to greet you this spring and the entire staff is ready, willing, and
able to meet and even exceed your everyday expectations.
We have lots of events and activities planned for your enjoyment. Please try our
new cultural series featuring a BSO quartet on Saturday, April 2nd or any number
of other events listed in our newsletter. Or give Vanessa, our Director of Catering,
a call to plan your next family celebration or office event.

The Center Club was named one of the Top 50
City Clubs in the country by Platinum Clubs of
America. This designation is considered the most
prestigious and respected recognition in the
private club industry and is based on the votes of
private club managers, presidents and owners.
It puts The Center Club in the top 4% of all private
