It's not very often that one has a great number of friends in town at the same time, but that's the situation the San Diego Psychiatric Society (SDPS) realized it would have this coming May when thousands of APA members converge in its beautiful hometown to participate in APA's 2007 annual meeting. So the SDPS decided to roll out the red carpet all the way onto the deck of the U.S.S. Midway aircraft carrier, where it will hold its annual dinner and fundraiser on Wednesday, May 23.
The Midway, which was commissioned in 1945, served its country for 47 years. No other carrier worked longer for this country; its proud history spans the surrender in Japan in World War II through the Vietnam war and Desert Storm.
In 2004, the Midway began its latest mission as an interactive museum and education center. Highlights include more than 40 exhibits that recreate naval life aboard a carrier and about two dozen restored aircraft.
APA members and their guests can take guided tours of the ship during the reception, to be held on the ship's flight deck, which spans four acres. The reception will feature hors d'oeuvres and a cash bar. APA members are also invited to attend a dinner aboard ship, in Hangar Bay 1, for the installation of new district branch officers and an awards ceremony to salute members of the media, legislators, and advocacy groups.
The reception and tours of the Midway will be held from 5 p.m. to 7:30 p.m., followed by dinner from 7:30 p.m. to 9:30 p.m. Tickets for the reception are $10 per APA member and spouse or one guest and $15 for non-APA members. Tickets for the reception and dinner are $65 per APA member and spouse or one guest and $75 for non-APA members. The charge for children aged 12 and under is $35 for the reception and dinner.
The U.S.S. Midway San Diego Aircraft Carrier Museum is about a mile from the San Diego Convention Center at 910 North Harbor Drive.
More information is available from Paula Marguiles, executive director of the San Diego Psychiatric Society, by phone at (858) 279-4586. Reservations can also be made through Marguiles. Information about the U.S.S. Midway is posted at<www.midway.org>.▪
