| Several local businesses and individuals were
recipients of the Lake Havasu Marine Association's annual 2010 awards. The
London Bridge Yacht Club was honored as "Partner of the Year". Rear
Commodore Bill Horton and member Dan Remy (third and second from the right in
the photo) accepted the award for the yacht club. The recognition was for
the yacht club's participation in continuing lake cleanup efforts, which were
spearheaded by Bill and Dan within our yacht club. |

safety on our waterways.
