NAPLES, FL – February 18, 2009 –
The Honorable Mayor Bill Barnett presented Preferred Travel of Naples President and CEO Wilma Boyd with a key to the city of Naples, and a proclamation declaring February 10th "Wilma Boyd Day." The Mayor’s presentation took place in front of more than 250 people attending Preferred Travel of Naples 25th anniversary celebration, A Silver Signature Event. According to the proclamation, Boyd received the special surprise recognition because of her "leadership in the community and her donation of time and resources to numerous charitable organizations."

True to Preferred Travel’s commitment to community, the anniversary celebration and travel showcase raised funds for the Neighborhood Health Clinic.
