DINNER HONORING JACK MEYER
ENGINEER, MIAMI MARINE STADIUM

Wednesday, February 29 6:00 PM Cash Bar
7:00 PM Program and Dinner
Biscayne Bay Yacht Club
2540 South Bayshore Drive, Coconut Grove

Jack Meyer, former Commodore of Biscayne Bay Yacht Club, was the project engineer for the construction of the Ralph Middleton Munroe Marine Stadium from its inception in 1961 through completion in 1963.

While at Dignum Engineers, Jack considered the Marine Stadium the most difficult project of his career. All of the other engineers refused to work on this assignment.

When the Marine Stadium was built, it was considered the longest span of cantilevered concrete in the world. Due to Jack's brilliant effort, the Stadium has withstood almost half century of neglect and is now destined for restoration.

The event is co-sponsored by the Biscayne Bay Yacht Club.

Cost: $40 per person, includes full buffet dinner with both Prime Rib and Salmon.

Tickets MUST be purchased before Monday, February 27. We expect to sell out so we recommend that you purchase tickets by Friday, Feb. 24. Call 800-838-3006 and ask for "The Jack Meyer event February 29" or click here
