Changes to SAFRE This Year:
To make our long-standing traditions more accessible, we will no longer host a separate annual banquet. Instead, the installation of officers, recognition of scholarship recipients, and presentation of our prestigious annual awards will all take place during the SAFRE Opening Ceremonies on Thursday, August 13. This change allows more of our membership and SAFRE attendees to be part of these important moments.
