Thanks to all that came to the festivities this weekend, it was great to see the mix of old-school and new school.

Props to those who made the journeys from Seattle, Chicago, London and Hong Kong, as well as those more local who worked magic with their schedules or found sitters etc so they could join in the fun.

Impressively 4 of 6 founding members were in attendance on Saturday for the dinner at Brick, but on Friday at Quinn’s we recognized a quite lengthy list of members and alum that have given 10 or more years of service to the club. Click here for the list if you have not seen it yet.

In another reflection of how the club has grown, and how it is very often about much more than playing and going home, just take a look at the CPR Legacy Kids team sheet.

The 15th Anniversary All Star teams were also announced on Friday – click here for that list.

One of the more fun parts was checking out the slideshow – so if you missed that, please click here.

Thanks again to all who participated, and to those who made it happen!  If you want to see some photos from the weekend, click here.

Now it’s almost time to get back on the pitch for the spring leg of the season.
