On May 20th, the Channel Cat, under the direction of Captain King Williams, took off for an evening coastline cruise with over 80 Alexis de Tocqueville and Leadership Circle members aboard for the 16th Annual Thank You Reception.  As we headed down the coast the fog lifted for a lovely evening of sunshine and beautiful views. Everyone relaxed and enjoyed themselves as they dined on extraordinary and plentiful hors d’oeuvres prepared and served by Elena Wegner and her staff. The food was one of the big hits of the evening!


After David Prichard, Leadership Circle Chair and Jim Wolfe, Alexis de Tocqueville Society Co-Chair gave their welcoming remarks, CEO and President Paul Didier presented a short update on the successes of the Pre-K Institutes and Fun in the Sun. He also gave a very brief recap of the Power of Partnership Initiative’s (POPI) progress to date. The stories of success inspired five attendees to volunteer their time and talent to various POPI projects before they left the yacht!

 
This event was made possible by the generosity of Charlie Munger, the owner of the Channel Cat, and Tom Goodson & Dannell Stuart of AmeriFlex Financial Services, who underwrote the party on the yacht. It was truly a special cruise and thoroughly enjoyed by all.
