Congratulations to all the winners and nominees City Guide Magazine, a Davler Media Group publication, is the largest circulation visitor magazine in New York City. 1040 Avenue of the Americas, Fourth Floor, New York, NY 10018 | 212.315.0800 | www.cityguideny.com 2007 NYCAHC EXECUTIVE BOARD Mary T. Murphy • President Domenic Alfonzetti • Vice President George Domenick • Public Relations Ercilia Rodriguez • Secretary Ivette Munroe • Treasurer Gloria Morgan • Membership Loida Diaz • Social Coordinator The New York City Association of Hotel Concierges is pleased to announce the first annual “Concierge Choice Awards.” The Concierge Choice Awards will recognize New York City institutions and businesses that create superior visitor experiences for the guests of our hotels. The nominees and winners will not necessarily be the biggest, the oldest or the most famous in the metropolitan area; they will be establishments or individuals who we, the concierge community at large will choose. The process will culminate in a magnificent evening of winners, honored nominees and a new found respect for our award winning choices. The New York City Association of Hotel Concierge has asked City Guide Magazine to host the awards dinner where the nominees will be announced. City Guide has laid the foundation and assisted in our semi-annual fundraising endeavors for many years; most recently, Café Society where we raised nearly $35,000 for the Les Clefs d’OR foundation and the NYCAHC crisis fund. No other city in the United States has ever asked the Concierge community for their feedback in such celebrated fashion. We are eager to be leaders and we look forward to sharing with you our first annual Concierge choice awards and continuing our relationship for many years to come. Sincerely, Mary T.
