This is your 140th Anniversary Party Reminder!

Potomac Boat Club’s President, the Board of Governors, and the Social Committee request your presence next weekend at the boathouse for a very special celebration … PBC’s 140th Anniversary!

The festivities will kick off on Saturday, September 12th, at 7:00 PM and continue until 10:00 PM.  The Social Committee anticipates many will want to be part of this historic night, so it is limiting guests to one per member to give everyone a chance to be there. Also, you must RSVP prior to the event, and the deadline is Tuesday, September 8th.  Let the party planners know you’ll be there by sending an email right now to PBCRSVP@yahoo.com.

What to wear?  The Social Committee is calling for cocktail attire, but valet parking will be available, so consider it an opportunity to strap on those 5-inch heels or show off that jacket and tie combo your teammates have never seen.  What about the kids?  Sorry. They have to stay home for this one, but the Committee promises plenty of beer, wine, soft drinks and hors d’oeuvres to keep your mind off of what they might be doing to the poor baby sitter you hired for the evening.

Over the last 140 years, we’ve become well known for our spirit of competition, and this anniversary party will reflect that.  No, not a hat race.  The Social Committee has put together a silent auction to benefit the Potomac River Sports Foundation and our Open Sculling Program.  Your fellow members have generously donated a variety of items for you to bid on throughout the evening, including weekend getaways, theater and athletic event tickets, special services, and much more, so get your checkbooks ready!  You might even get a sneak preview of the auction items in the Star later this week.

Stay tuned for last minute details!
