City Club Panama has panned out to be the country's business division where the largest chunk of entrepreneurial and executive decisions are made in its halls full of superb quality, elegance and privacy.

Nearly 250 members celebrated City Club Panama's eighth anniversary in a friendly and businesslike atmosphere, exquisite elegance and the amazing cuisine quality the Club has to offer.

The ceremony set the tone for handing out the Leadership Award to Dr. Praxedes Crespo and the Civic Merit Award -the Club's top prize given on a yearly basis to those who have excelled in solidarity and civic spirit- to Dr. Adan Rios, who traveled specially to Houston to receive such a prestigious award.

The event's presentation was emceed by General Manager Jose Manuel Brito. A delegation handed the Leadership Award, while D. Apostolos Costarangos and his son Stavros presented the Civic Merit Award. After accepting the award, Dr. Gilberto Guardia, President of the Board of Governors, offered the traditional toast to the Club's anniversary. Then came the spectacular Gala Buffet. The orchestra struck up and invited everyone in the ballroom to dance and have fun as patrons were tasting their meal and enjoying the City Club's laidback ambience.
