Members and guests were served glasses of champagne as they arrived at the reception area; greeted by Kathy Tapken and Phyllis Golas; and Board members were on hand to tour guests throughout our beautiful  renovated Clubhouse.  A photo essay of our building’s history was created by P/C Lars Larsen and on display. 

An ice carving of the RPYC burgee was the centerpiece of the buffet table in the atrium, filled with beautiful display carvings, fruit, cheeses and shrimp.  Hand passed hot hors d` oeuvres were served by our wonderful wait staff and the chocolate fountain was flowing with fruit and cakes to dip.   

Remarks made by the Construction Committee, P/C’s Guveiyian, Minahan, Scherer, LRP Chair Natale and closing with Commodore Williamsen, acknowledged the efforts of members and staff to make the project a success.  Special thanks to RPYC member and co-host Richard Freund, and construction Supervisor David Ramey of Brooks & Freund, whose expertise and personal efforts enabled us to stay on time, within budget, without closing and with the most effective use of funds.
