Change of Watch 2008

One of the highlights of the year in any squadron of the USPS, is the Change of Watch.  Diablo is no exception.  The Change of Watch is the yearly meeting during which new officers (called "The Bridge") are elected and installed.  It is the most "Formal" part of our year, with everyone dressing to the occasion.

This year, our Change of Watch was held at the Contra Costa Country Club.  They did a great job setting up, and we had a fine turnout. 

Below are some pictures that were taken during the Change of Watch.  It's hard to see the details in pictures this small, but if you click on the small "Thumbnail", you'll see a larger version of that photo.
