Join us for a special Polynesian evening as the Chapter installs the 2024 Officers & Board of Directors of the Florida Restaurant & Lodging Association’s Pinellas Chapter. Why Polynesian? Their relevance to the beauty of the sea (Gulf of Mexico in this instance) is a reflection that is similar to what this Chapter and its Board represent – an inventive spirit and a dedicated commitment to family and community.
