We'll begin the evening with our annual member's meeting to discuss the business of the last year, thank our trustees and division leads for their dedication, and welcome the new members of the board.

Then join us for dinner with action stations featuring a Prime Rib carving station, Italian pasta dishes and everyone's favorite, a macaroni and cheese bar! Salads, sides and breads will be offered as well. After dinner, the division commanders will present Annual Awards followed by dessert and dancing to the wonderful band, Tidewater Drive.
