A festive evening was enjoyed by all at the Annual ESU Churchill Dinner held at the Naples Yacht Club on March 15, 2016. The dinner was hosted by Mrs. Alice Childs. Guests were treated to the piano music of Bruce Petsche during cocktails. The evening was highlighted with the speech by Lord Lisvane celebrating eight centuries of Magna Carta and its influence across the world, especially among the English-speaking peoples.
