In January, Mark Jezierski, joined us as our new General Manager. He has years of experience and expertise with private clubs and within the hospitality industry. He comes to us with many innovative ideas which will maintain the Club as among the best private Clubs in the world. Mark is eager to meet each one of you. When you are next in the Club, please make it a point to welcome him and introduce yourself.

The Penn Club is your club. The more you participate, the more it becomes yours. We are planning to broaden the variety of events and programs which reflect the varied interests of our membership.
