To recognize the Society's milestone 20th anniversary, we held a special party in the parish hall of St. Clement's Episcopal Church on St. George's Day. We were fortunate that this year, St. George's Day fell on a Saturday, so April 23 was, in fact, the real date for the occasion. A number of our members attended and we had food, drinks, and camaraderie with our fellows, many of whom we have not seen all together in quite some time. Some of our thematic decor included white and red balloons, England flags, and our inflatable dragon.
The captain briefly explained the significance behind the Christian holiday and why St. George is the patron saint of England and many other countries. Her Majesty the Queen was likewise toasted, recognizing her historic Platinum Jubilee year. During the course of our afternoon lunch, Pte. Jesse G. was recognized for his meritorious service, dedication, and commitment to the regiment over the years with a certificate and the thanks of his fellow 35th'ers.
Among the highlights in the church hall was a display of the Regimental Silver and a cake which we had custom printed with our new 20th anniversary logo.
Thanks to everyone who came out and made our regimental lunch a success!
