Ahoy! IFMA Boston Schmooze Cruise 2016 - by Annie McEvoy

We set sail from Rowes Wharf on one the finest vessels Boston has to offer, The Odyssey. This year’s cruise included accommodations on the two top decks of the Odyssey with a DJ and full buffet dinner including dessert. What a great way to meet and connect with our fellow IFMA members representing so many local facilities. It was an evening filled with fun and laughter among the beautiful and forever changing Boston harbor and city views!
