Many Reasons to
Celebrate and Give Thanks
         2020 has no doubt been a challenging year
         which leaves even more reason to take time out
         to celebrate the holiday season. There’s no better
         place to do that then at the PCA. Consider hosting
         an intimate dinner for your hard-working team,
         close family members, or with good friends in your
         social bubble.

         Our staff can help you plan your event from start to
         finish while following current health requirements
         to keep you and your guests comfortable and safe.
         It’s already November so start planning today by
         contacting events@petroclub.net.

The UMass Club
City Views or Fall Colors?

There’s nothing like autumn in New England. Whether you’re cruising the
countryside marveling at the bright, fall leaves or spending time in the city to
take in the history and hustle of Boston, The UMass Club is a great home base
for your New England adventure. One of our reciprocal clubs in the Boston
area, UMC is a private social and business club for alumni, faculty and friends
of all five campuses of the University of Massachusetts. Members include civic
and community leaders, professionals and distinguished UMass alumni and
faculty. Even if you have no connections to the University, reciprocal guests can
still enjoy the Club’s wonderful amenities.
The UMass Club boasts six private rooms, a lounge and a dining room, offering
sweeping views of the Boston skyline. Members and guests can use the rooms
for parties, business meetings and more. Menus include regional favorites like
lobster, scallops and oysters and cutting-edge cuisine like chili-dusted candied
pork belly or zinfandel braised short ribs. In addition to formal dining, a full-
service bar offers burgers, salads, and apps along with craft cocktails, fine
wines, and beer from local breweries.
Once you’ve filled up on a great meal, get down to business in the club’s
spacious lounge with plenty of comfortable seating overlooking Boston
Harbor. Be sure to check out the newly added stand up work areas called
DeskViews. The designated DeskViews spots were made for taking a break
from your home office. They are physically distanced by at least 6 feet and
sanitized after each use. Private meeting rooms are also available for small
groups. The club is currently operating under CDC guidelines to keep you and
your guests safe during the pandemic. *
Located near several Boston attractions including the city’s famous Public
Garden, historic landmarks on the Freedom Trail, and the traditional Beacon
Hill neighborhood, the UMass Club is a perfect spot to take in the splendor of
