This is a comprehensive year-by-year indexing of every one of the presentations referenced in the title of the page. It will be of great utility and interest to present-day viewers and those in many future decades. Future WordPress-fluent Communications Directors (or their appointed webmasters) will easily and continually maintain this vital and instructive repository. In turn, each of their successors will advisedly do the same, realizing that richly instructive and engaging content on this QCGC website (+ cultivated volunteerism) is the key element for smooth, decades-long continuity of the Club and its Mission. Our leadership team is committed to the concept of “organizing the Club so well, that it will still be going strong 50 years from now.”
