Good afternoon, everyone. The Stephen C. Smith Memorial Regatta Sponsors and Volunteers Party is scheduled for Saturday, June 20, 2026, at 5:00 pm, at the ABYC at Shell Point. Please inform the major volunteers on your committees of this date and time. I will personally invite the sponsors (all levels) as well as the ACS representatives. In year's past, we have had between 50-75 attendees. This year, the number might be higher as there are other special guests who will be invited. We are asking every committee chair (and anyone else who wishes) to bring a side dish to the event to share. Salads, potatoes, vegetables, casseroles, desserts, etc. are welcome. The Regatta will provide burgers, chicken, wieners, salmon burgers, veggie burgers, buns, toppings, condiments, paper products, and also beverages (water, tea, beer, wine). Another e-mail will be sent out over the next week that will go into more detail. This year each committee chair will need to make their own list of the committee volunteers that they wish to recognize -- I will not have them listed on my agenda. Please note that unfortunately we can't accommodate every single volunteer who may have worked some on the event; please stick to those who made an impact. Shown below is a list of this year's committee chairs. Please feel free to reply with additional information/comments/corrections. At the ceremony, we'll give out a "diploma" (regatta poster) to every family unit having a volunteer. I need the number of those that you wish to invite by Friday, June 5th so that I know how many poster "diplomas" to order. Please respond to all with any comments, corrections, or questions.
