  • Thank you for your exceptional service during our heritage workshop that we held in one of the meeting rooms at the PTCC. To be honest, I’ve held many events there and they are all exceptional but I wanted to make a point of saying a special thank you for this one in particular. The room setting combined with the high-quality food service really made the participants in the workshop feel appreciated and special. I always enjoy your staff!
