Illinois Valley |
This coming May 30th our
shore leave will be on Memorial Day evening at 6:30pm at the Marina
Cantina at Eastport Marina in East Peoria, IL. It will be a special
evening to say good bye to Linda Yoder, for she will be leaving us for
the next chapter in her life departing for the west coast in June.
Please help
us celebrate by joining us with honoring her for all the effort, time
and dedication she has put into the power squadron. For the last
10 years she has been the glue that has held this squadron together. It
will be a fun night!
Please RSVP by the 27th
of May.
