HVPR's Christmas Party - 2004   

HVPR's festive Christmas party was held (yes, once again due to popular demand) at the United States Coast Guard Training Center's "Port of York" club, overlooking the scenic York River from Yorktown.

At the podium is HVPR's President Dick Tarr, starting off the evening's activities.

 

Forty-eight members and guests enjoyed the event, many dressed in their holiday finery.
