Citrus Club - The Ultimate Private Club Experience
Orlando Downtown

More than 100 business leaders, executives and entrepreneurs
mingled at the Asian American’s latest Business after Hours event,
held at the exclusive Citrus Club in Downtown Orlando.

Among the notables were Deborah Rios-Barnes who confi rmed the
second year renewal of the Orlando Magic’s corporate sponsorship of
the AACC, Carmenza Gonzalez, the Vice President of International
Business of the Metro Orlando EDC, and Laura McLoughlin, Vice
President of the British American Chamber.

People from multiple chambers networked enthusiastically:
they represented the International, Hispanic, African-American,
Bristish- American and Caribbean American Chambers.

Members of the Citrus Club also joined in
an AACC event for the first time.

Everyone enjoyed meeting new and renewing old business contacts while pursuing new friendships. So many business cards were exchanged that many ran out as
they did not expect such a high turnout!

The Citrus Club excelled with their penthouse view at sunset as
well as the excellent drinks and hors d’oueuvres. Thanks to their four
raffl ed prizes, the winners will be able to return for another visit at the
Citrus Club for their fi ne dining and spa treats. Longtime AACC mem-
ber, Coco Johnston spontaneously donated chocolates that thrilled the
last and fi fth raffl e winner.

The evening ended well beyond the 7:30pm scheduled close
as people straggled out after 8pm from a very satisfi ed evening of
connecting with so many useful and friendly business contacts.
