Have a question about the PCA
or how to utilize your membership?
ASK THE CLUB
We asked members to share their questions with us about the Club.
I’m hosting an event at the club. Can I bring in my own wine?
The PCA does not hold a package license, which
means we cannot let people leave our building
with alcohol. If you wish to bring a bottle that will
be consumed during an event, that’s ok, but you
can’t leave with a bottle unless it has been opened
and re-corked for a fee by our staff. The rules are
laid out in the PCA Catering Policy:
Alcohol Regulations - All sales and service of
alcoholic beverages are regulated by the State
of Alaska Alcohol & Marijuana Control Office. The
Petroleum Club of Anchorage is responsible for the
regulation of these laws within the PCA. Therefore,
it is Club policy that any alcoholic beverage cannot
be brought into the Club from outside sources. Any
exception of this policy must have prior approval
from the PCA Special Events & Catering Coordinator.
Any Wine brought into the PCA cannot leave the
premises without first being opened and re-corked.
No wine can be brought in to be auctioned, sold,
or given away unless it is to be consumed at the
Club.
Do you have a question about the PCA? We want to
hear from you! Fill out an Ask the Club card next time
you visit or email your questions to Sheri Underwood,
General Manager at gm@petroclub.net, Tracy Dumas,

Petroleum Club of Lafayette
Traveling to Louisiana for Mardi Gras?
Make time in your schedule to visit the Petroleum Club of Lafayette.
Two hours outside of New Orleans, you’ll find a gem of a club brimming with
Southern Charm. The PCL began when oil companies started moving into
the region back in 1952. At that time, a small group of oil workers expressed
interest in building a place for relaxing, socializing, and discussing mutual
issues after work. The group approached local land-owner and businessman
Mr. Maurice Heymann with their idea. Mr. Heymann agreed to donate his land
if the men would create a legal corporation and build the club themselves.
They did so by forming a Southern Building Company for the purpose of
selling stock. In a matter of months, they met their goal, which was to sell 200
shares at $200 per share. In April of 1953, the Petroleum Club of Lafayette
was born.
The PCL kept pace with the growing oil industry and it soon became the largest
Petroleum Club in the world. In the 1980s the club extended its membership
to folks outside of the oil and gas industry, along with women, who were
not granted membership until 1986. Despite changes in membership, many
club traditions have stayed the same over the years. Each morning, several
members gather over coffee and biscuits to discuss business, politics, sports,
hunting, and so on. PCL is also a regular gathering place for Oil Society
Meetings. The club additionally hosts a weekly dinner dance on Friday nights,
a regular Bingo Night, and a Sunday Lunch Buffet with favorite local dishes
such as Crawfish Etouffee, Fresh Oysters, Crab Cakes, Smoked Brisket and
more.
Outstanding food and service have earned the PCL an unmatched reputation
in the region. In February, join them for Valentine’s Day Dinner, a Lobster Night,
or Wine & Dine Wednesday. However, the PCL will be closed in celebration of
Mardi Gras on February 25th. So, spend some time at the Petroleum Club in TO LEARN MORE ABOUT RECIPROCAL CLUBS VISIT

Thursday Night Sponsors
Whether you work for a small business, a large company, or even yourself, at one point or another, you may
have considered being a sponsor. At the PCA we have several opportunities for sponsorship throughout the
year, from Thursday Night Networking Events to Football Nights to the Annual Golf Tournament. What can
you gain from jumping aboard the sponsor-ship (pun intended)? According to marketing experts, plenty.
1. Lead Generation/Brand Awareness – Hosting 5. Blocking the Competition – If your competitors

experience. Maybe it’s a give-away for a small
prize or a service offered by your company by
having people drop their business card in a jar.
In return, you get to keep their names as future
contacts. Or, you could set up a photo booth
with your company’s logo as the backdrop so
attendees can have a souvenir of the event.
You could even have a foosball table set up
or a blind wine tasting to keep a prospective
customer around for longer conversation.
2. That brings us to the next component – Human
Connection. Hosting a sponsor event has
a much greater impact on a customer than
what they’d get by just exploring your website
because you are engaging in face-to-face
conversation, making yourself available to
answer questions specific to that potential
client’s needs. Therefore, you’re more likely to
get a return on your investment (ROI).
3. ROI – While the number varies, consider this:
even if only 5 people who attended your
sponsor event become customers, if their
business each generates a few thousand dollars
for your company, then together that number
will increase your company’s revenue. And if
you impress these new customers enough, then Make 2020 the year you grow your business
