On Monday February 22nd, Maltans from around the Delaware Valley gathered at #9 Boathouse Row to reflect on 150 years of Malta rowing and club history.

Following the February club meeting, Malta’s 150th Committee lead attending members through a number of historical highlights from Malta’s history, including: a reflection on racing and club highlights from Malta’s history; insight into the lives of a number of founding, charter club members; and a reading of the Malta’s Charter of Incorporation.

The event was capped off with a reflective and compassionate toast from 50 year member Fred Duling. The evening concluded with the singing of “Happy Birthday” to Malta Boat Club by twenty eight proud Malta oarsmen.

This was the second club-wide event in two months and the 150th Committee expects to continue with year long celebrations over the duration of 2010.
