Hartford Power Squadron 2025 Change of Watch Dinner

This year’s Change of Watch (COW) dinner will be held at the Manor Inn Restaurant, 1636 Meriden-Waterbury Turnpike, Milldale, CT 06467.

If you are not familiar with the COW, it is an annual time-honored formal event preserved by a rich heritage of naval tradition. The COW allows squadron members to witness the transfer of responsibility of bridge assignments and recognize the accomplishments of both outgoing officers and squadron members. Officers elected at the Annual Members’ Meeting held in March are also sworn in.

All squadron members are encouraged to attend this event to show appreciation to those who do so much to keep the squadron viable and meet other members, make friends, and most importantly, have an enjoyable time.

If you can only attend one event all year, this should be the one. The Change of Watch dinner is always memorable, so why not make your reservations now and join us at what is sure to be another fun-filled event.
