Informal Gatherings
Since there are many Commanders in the Detroit area, members have organized informal meets before we called them regionals. The 'core' group was known as the Motor City Motley Crew. Scott Anderson and Mike Adam were the organizers of such events and some members drove from Illinois, Missouri, Indiana and Iowa to attend.
There were September events at the Detroit Yacht Club in 2004, 2005, 2006, 2008, 2009, 2010
Other events included:
- Detroit Boat Show and late lunch February 2005
- Dinners at Jack's restaurant in the fall of 2000 and winter of 2001
- Dinner at the Ford Yacht Club April 2001
