What an Evening
The San Diego Chapter of the Sons of the American Revolution enjoyed a sizable crowd of 68 attendees at our George Washington Birthday Black-Tie Dinner. We anticipated that our turnout would be somewhat dampened by the inclement weather but that was not the case. Those that attended enjoyed a musket volley, nice dinner, engaging speakers, raffle with astonishing prizes and a well-run program.
