THE WILLARD is
not another cookie-cutter bit of steel and prefabrication—indeed, quite
the opposite is true: It is a landmark in its own right and an important
witness to over 150 years of American history. The Willard's Peacock Alley
and the site's many classic rooms have played host to presidents, princes,
governors, senators, diplomats, poets, and socialites from every decade
since Henry Willard bought the property in 1850 and transformed it from a
modest hostelry to a grand gathering point where deals were made and art
was inspired.

FROM
HEINZ STADIUM to the Harbour Club, this hot new
Baltimore band has played every type of venue
since forming just a few months ago. A mix of club veterans and fresh faces,
this 9-piece band has palpable
stage presence and their energy is contagious. Serving up an energetic fusion of funk, R & B, disco, and modern hits, JumpStreet is talented and tight, with a great, full sound.

event tickets, call (202) 628-9100 and ask for the SCP Fedewa New Year's Eve Party rate: Single or double occupancy rooms that normally sell for nearly $500 per night are only $139 for our guests (please be ready to provide your six digit SCP registration number to the reservations staff for verification).

IT'S NEVER TOO EARLY TO START!
Our fourth annual encore event is back: The First Party of 2003 will
be held at the Dubliner, featuring live music by
The Players starting at 2:00pm. So, after a night of glitz
and glitter and lots of
toasts, kick back and enjoy something "skasual" after a
lazy brunch and bloodies. So far almost 30% of our 2002 New Year's Eve
guests are planning on attending, and another 40% are considering it. This
is just one more way we stretch out the festivities!
