Call to the Community to find Pfister Hotel Stories of "Memories and Moments"

Do you, or does someone you know, have a story to tell about an important moment or event that took place at The Pfister Hotel? I want to hear your story!

The Pfister Hotel has held a special place in the history and culture of Milwaukee since we opened our doors in 1893. As General Manger, I am proud to announce that The Pfister has recently completed a multi-million dollar renovation of our rooms, grand ballrooms, restaurant and signature spa continuing our historic tradition of grand elegance, gracious service and impeccable style. A retrospective gala will commemorate our grand reopening in the fall, and we need your help finding Pfister stories of "Memories and Moments" to add to the celebration.

I am searching for stories of special days, events or moments that took place at The Pfister as a cornerstone of our great Milwaukee community. Stories can be about an elegant wedding, memorable anniversary, romantic honeymoon stay, bar/bat mitzvah, baptism, engagement, girls’ weekend, business meeting, political event, contract signing, birthday, family reunion, memorial, military reunion or any other meaningful moment that you are willing to share with the community.

One story from each decade since The Pfister opened will be selected to represent that time period in the history of the hotel. The winners will be invited to share their story and be honored during the grand reopening gala on October 27. In addition, winners will receive a gift card for an overnight Pfister Hotel stay, and a couples massage at our new WELL Spa + Janice Salon.

If you have, or if you know of someone who has a "Memories and Moments" story of a special time at The Pfister, please share the details surrounding the occasion, and how this event has touched your life. To submit your story visit www.thepfisterhotel.com/stories or mail your submission to: Meghan Deutsch, Marcus Hotels & Resorts, 100 E. Wisconsin Ave., Suite 1950, Milwaukee, WI 53202. Entries will be accepted from August 1st through September 30th, 2008. For contest rules, please visit: http://www.thepfisterhotel.com/stories/contestrules/
