If you would like to join us for the dinner please make your reservation. I have sent email acknowledgements to all who have already reserved. If you have any questions, please call me at 602-525-6318 Bill Johnson Below is information copied from the webpage at: http://www.usps.org/localusps/phoenix/cow.htm The 2008 Change of Watch will be held at the Union Hills Country Club on 9 February. The address is 9860 W. Lindgren Ave in Sun City. The best way from the east is to use Union Hills from the Loop 101 and head west to 99th Ave. Go South on 99th Ave to W Lindgren Ave, then take a left. Follow Lindgren till you see the clubhouse for Union Hills CC on the left. See the Maps The doors will open at 1730 for a "No Host" cash bar. Dinner will be served at 1830. The dinner will start with a Ceasar Salad with croutons & cranberries. The main course will be Pot Roast of Beef Jardinere, Parsley New Potatoe,- Green Beans Amandine, Rolls & Butter,. Coffee and tea will be served with dinner. Dessert will be Peppermint Stick Ice Cream Pie with Chocolate Drizzle. For those of you who may not have attended a Squadron Change of Watch in previous years, you'll want to be sure to attend this time. We have a special program planned that I'm sure you will enjoy. One of our own members, David Allocco, has obtained a speaker of some note. And, you're sure say to the person next to you, "Why did I think sailing was such a nice quiet sport!" Come to the Change of Watch and see what hard sailing can mean. What would it be like to race a 40 foot boat that is 8 feet wide and weighs only 5,000 pounds from Los Angeles to Hawaii? And what if there were only two people on board? And what if you're competing against 72 other boats including Roy E. Disney's 90 foot racing machine, Pyewacket? This is the amazing and amusing story that will be presented at the Phoenix Sail and Power Squadron's Change of Watch on February 9, 2008. Arizona's own father and son Transpac Racing team , Al Lehman Jr. and Al Lehman Sr. will present a fascinating slide show describing their experiences in the 2007 race to Honolulu. They'll tell you how they found the right boat, and how they prepared for the 44th Transpac Race. They'll tell you how they packed in all their food, water, and supplies. They'll tell you how they sailed and navigated 2,225 nautical miles, non-stop, day and night. It's a fascinating story. Come to the Change of Watch, you'll be glad you did! The cost of the dinner and entertainment will be $35 per person. Special thanks go to Jim and Marge Hill for offering the use of their club facilities. Invitations will be sent. Plan on coming to the Change of Watch - it is the only "Formal" dinner that the squadron presents each year. The deadline for reservations is 23rd January. Please RSVP with checks made out to "Phoenix Sail & Power Squadron" and mail to: Bill Johnson 7136 W.
