Gala 85th Anniversary Dinner

SRYC members turned out in their finest garb to celebrate the club’s 85th Anniversary on May 18, 2019. A catered dinner of filet mignon and crab legs delighted the tastebuds and classy decorations helped make it a very special night. In honor of the 85th, 85 minutes of open bar was included.

Past commodores were honored, and three awards were given.

- Best Boater: Bruce & Mary Kopecky for their extended trip around North America
- 1st to RSVP: Todd & Renae Holingsworth
- Longest Distance: Former Commodore Bob Fulwider for traveling from Florida to attend

Thanks to hosts Patrick and Tammy Feehan for an elegant and memorable event.

Due to the snow in the forecast for Saturday, launch day was moved up to Friday, April 26. Though it was a breezy day, with the help of many members, the launch was a success.
