Graham Mather, Chairman of WFZC, invites previous participants and new delegates to the 8th WORLD FREE ZONE CONVENTION which will be held at The Francis Marion Hotel in the historic centre of Charleston www.thefrancismarion.com Announcing the decision to choose Charleston Mr. Mather said: "The choice of Charleston will bring us to another port city with a long history. Charleston is a unique Southeast destination with charm and Southern grace. Beautifully appointed mansions, private gardens, historic landmarks, quaint shops and restaurants to suit every taste are scattered throughout the entire downtown area of Charleston where the event will be held later this year. |
