Greetings SCR Members:
Save the Date
Eric Medina, our SCR Awards Banquet Coordinator, has just confirmed that our annual SCR Awards Banquet will be held Sat, Jan. 31, 2026, 5-10pm at Brues Alehouse on the Riverwalk. FYI, that is the weekend before the Super Bowl and that means no NFL playoff games that day. Registration details soon. Thank you Eric.
