Current Magellan Award Dinner
33rd and 34th Order of Magellan Presented to Mark and Scott Kelly
On December 14, astronauts Mark and Scott Kelly became the 33rd and 34th recipients of the Order of Magellan. The gala event was held at the historic Union League Club on Park Avenue in New York City. The evening began with a wonderful cocktail hour where members and guests had a chance to meet Commander Kelly and enjoy each other’s company. Once Sousa’s Circumnavigators Club March was played, everyone was seated for dinner. International President Peter Mosse welcomed members and guests to this historic event. Following dinner, Past President and Magellan Award Committee Chair Howard Matson gave his introductory remarks and called to the podium the Officers, Governors, Chapter Presidents and representatives of the Circumnavigators Club to present the Order of Magellan to Scott Kelly. Scott Kelly gave an extraordinary address on his experience as a NASA astronaut while showing his video taken in space. The evening came to a close when everyone received a commemorative glass of the Magellan Award Dinner.
