6th Annual Triton Inshore Slam Fishing Tournament

The weather played a major role in this year's 6th annual tournament, with heavy winds and cooler air making it a challenging day for our participants and captains. But, as the day went on, the winds calmed, the sun came out, and fishing actually proved to be more successful than last year! A record number of 16 boats were registered and everyone enjoyed seeing old friends and meeting new anglers who were joining us for the first time. Participants included alumni, student parents, corporate supporters, and college staff.

The categories for this year's awards were changed, allowing for more diversity in the types of fish counted and a better chance for individuals to take home the prizes. First, second, and third places were awarded for the highest total of three of the species including redfish, trout, cobia, mangrove snapper, spanish mackerel, flounder, snook, and grouper. The Master Angler award was given to the highest total of four of the species caught. The new and improved prizes for each category were a big hit with all of the recipients. Congratulations to this year's champions!

Master Angler - Tim Womack
1st Place - Chick Candler
2nd Place - Robert Stewart
3rd Place - Bill Adams

1st Place Trash Fish - Jamie Llovera

We were fortunate to have even more support from sponsors this year, with major contributions from Phoenix Venture Philanthropy Foundation, who also provided a delicious lunch, as well as UGL Unicco, Bon Appetit, and Indian Springs Marina. We thank them, as well as the rest of our sponsors, for their continued support of this annual event!

Many Thanks also go to the participants who helped make this year's tournament a big success. Next year's tournament will be a part of the week-long Celebration of EC-SAR's 40 Years of Service, so be sure to put it on your calendars and watch for details coming soon!

Friends of the Waterfront Dinner 2010

This year's 4th annual Friends of the Waterfront Dinner was the most successful yet, with more attendees than in the past, and the expansion of the fire night activities following the dinner. Because of the success of past Friends Dinners, the college's Alumni Office requested that the Waterfront host the Friday evening alumni party, integrating it with the Friends Fire Night event.

The evening started with the over 85 Waterfront alumni and students enjoying a nice meal and sharing stories of today and of the past. Student leaders from EC-SAR and the Sailing Team enjoyed meeting the alumni and learning about how the program has grown over the past 40 years. Conversations included EC-SAR and Sailing Team stories, and the sharing of fond waterfront memories with speculation about what the future holds for "the place that we all call home" as Murray Fournie, Chairman of the Friend's Board, so accurately stated in his address that evening. Also featured on the evening's agenda was the bestowing of Honorary Team Member status upon the Lindley family, who have been actively involved in supporting EC-SAR even though they were not team members when they were students.
To those of you who were there, thank you again for a wonderful evening! To those who missed out, we hope to see you next year. With next year being EC-SAR's 40th year of service, we anticipate the Friend's dinner to be even bigger and better than this year!
