The Yale Club of the Suncoast’s Welcome Back event for the 2025-2026 season will be a special outing on November 9, 2025, to visit the Mote Science Education Aquarium (SEA) at its brand-new facility near Benderson Park. We will be one of the first outside organizations to see the Mote and to enjoy a private lunch event in the Mote’s Directors Dining Room, overlooking the rowing lake at Benderson Park.
Those attending the luncheon will hear a presentation by Mote’s CEO, Dr. Michael Crosby, on the new facility and Mote’s cutting-edge research in aquatic and environmental sciences. All members will have the opportunity to tour the spectacular aquarium beginning at noon (It is a timed entry). The luncheon is limited to 60 attendees due to space; however, the aquarium visit is available at discounted pricing to all Yale Club members and their guests.
