The last Saturday of January is the date we always schedule the Seventh Fleet Admiral’s Banquet. This is an opportunity for the Admiralty and the Chapters to celebrate the members within the fleet. This semi-formal setting will be held on Saturday, January 25, 2020 at the Richmond City Building.
It is encouraged for members to show up in Uniform/Cosplay, but not required. There will be video presentations and various Fleet recognized awards given out at this event.
The USS White Buffalo will be hosting this event with the meal being a pasta bar. Cost is $5/person and can be paid at the door.
For many chapters, this is their January activity.
