1st Sgt. Dean Richter, of the 191st Military Police Company, passes out teddy bears called “Battalion Buddies” Oct. 27, 2012, to children of the Soldiers deploying to Guantanamo Bay, Cuba. The bears are part of “Operation Gratitude” and give the children something to hold on to while their parent is on the yearlong deployment. About 30 members of the North Dakota National Guard will serve on the mission to Guantanamo. They were honored during a send-off at the Fargo Armed Forces Reserve Center. (Photo by Pfc.

50th recap
- Event organizer Jordan Mitchell gave background on how the event came together and how the club has transformed from a post-apocalyptic wasteland to a beautiful green space. Also, mentioned that during the planning of the event, some incredible stories came out of the woodwork (e.g., Water Rat costumes from the early 1970s, the Poona Pot Sail/Ski Championship and the Water Rat 10 Commandments).
- Land & Water Acknowledgement by Jimmy Sabourin - in Mohawk tradition, gave thanks to the land, water, winds and rains and talked about the importance of bringing your best self.
- MP Julie Dabrusin - as a member of the neighbouring Windsurfing Club, she hadn't seen the Water Rat from the inside and was amazed at how beautiful the grounds were. She talked about the importance of having access to the water so close to downtown and the importance of protecting it from plastic waste.
- Paul Henderson - spoke for about 20 minutes on the development of the Water Rat and all of the clubs along the Portlands (similar to his Canadian Yachting article). He later cut a cake and showed the members the first membership badges for him, Gordon Norton and Bill Cox.
- Norm Lamb - thanked the 50th anniversary organizing committee and talked about the importance of member-run clubs where so many people dedicate their time for the enjoyment of others.
- Paula Fletcher - talked about the tenacity of the club members for fighting to stay put on an incredible piece of water and land. (She also planted a silver maple tree).
