More than 80 members and their friends attended today's festivities. The potluck lunch was, as usual, the highlight of the day. Pat's seafood chowder is always memorable, but was especially good this year. No one makes a better chowder. As is customary at the annual meeting, officers and directors were elected for the coming year. Carl Churchill was re-elected President, Art Handman won a narrow victory as Vice President, and Terry Norton and Dennis Farrell were re-elected as Secretary and Treasurer, respectively. Phil Sypek, Hunk Eskine, Ernie Packard, and Denneth "Tiny" Lee were elected as directors. Thanks were expressed to Walter Fossett, Jr. and Dick Cosgrove for their service to the Board over the past several years. The MGRS also expressed its appreciation to John Jackson for his service to the Society. John is on the mend from a recent illness.
The annual auction raised $586.30 for the MGRS this year. Another $67.50 was raised in the 50-50 auction (the other $67.50 being won by Scott Gould, who is still surprised that no one asked to see his winning ticket).
All in all, a successful event, thanks to the continuing support of the MGRS membership and the wonderful hospitality of Pat and Carl Churchill.

Great pictures! I am sure that a lot of people that could not go were looking forward to seeing them. Thanks go out to Scott for doing such a nice write up.
