Celebrate the installation of our 2013-14 chapter board of directors as we return to Boulevard with special guest Adam Van de Water, the assistant project director for the 34th America’s Cup at the Mayor’s Office of Economic and Workforce Development. The America’s Cup is one of the most difficult and oldest active trophies in international sport to win. It’s a test of sailing skill, stamina and boat and sail design, as well as of fund-raising and management skills.
