The Jaxport Cruise Terminal

The World Affairs Council of Jacksonville and the Jacksonville Port Authority (Jaxport) are co-hosting the second annual Ambassador’s Circle Dinner on Thursday, November 15.  Our special guest is His Excellency Lee Tae-sik, Ambassador from the Republic of Korea to the United States . This is a wonderful occasion to celebrate the momentous signing of the MOU between HanJin and Jaxport.  We want to give South Korea 's Ambassador a very warm First Coast welcome from our community as steps are taken to finalize a Jaxport terminal operation for this (second!) major Asian carrier.

Dockside jazz will be performed by UNF’s acclaimed President’s Trio.  Cocktails and hors d'oeuvres are to be aboard the festooned and famous Mayport Ferry.  This will be an exceptional evening.  Following the 6:00 p.m. reception, Mayor John Peyton will present a Key to the City, after which guests will be escorted into the cruise terminal for the dinner gala.
