Wishes for a ‘New Beginning’ mark milestone year for swissnex Boston
On January 20, 2010 swissnex Boston’s more than 200 partners, sponsors, associates, friends, and special guest Swiss Ambassador to Canada Werner Baumann celebrated “New Beginnings” with a festive reception, ushering in the Consulate’s tenth year. From the never-ending sushi bar to the dessert room—literally a room-full of desserts—guests indulged in quintessential Swiss hospitality.
Marking the imminent anniversary on October 10, 2010, guests also shared their wishes for swissnex and the world for the next ten years through an unusual exercise.
Earlier in the day, the children of swissnex Boston’s friends and partners enjoyed their own event with science workshops, cookies and hot chocolate. In the craft room, they ornamented paper snowflakes.
The swissnex office was then decorated with hundreds of these snowflakes, on which guests penned their wishes. These included relief aid for Haiti and other underdeveloped States and a positive outcome to the Copenhagen summit on climate change. The guests could win a trip to Switzerland sponsored by Swiss International Airlines, a Mondaine Wall Clock, a Complimentary One Night Stay in a Luxury Garden View Suite at the TAJ Boston, and Swissbäkers Gift card.
