Patrol Boat At the Seal Museum

Ship Mates, and Sponsors of IUWG-1
As Most of you know We have a Memorial Patrol boat at the UDT-Seal Museum in FT.Pierce Fl. for the 13 men who gave their all (KIA) while serving in IUWG-1.
It is now time to to totally rebuild the boat so it will go without maintenance, except for touch ups for the next ten years.
We adopt the boat every year ,and agree to maintain it to the highest standards possible.
i have talked to the museum people and they have given us the permission to have it, Sand blasted, re-fiber glassed, and re-painted to look like new.
The boat now has a lot of work to be done if it is to last .
For 10 years we have been painting the boat and it looks like it is held together with the paint. BU, We just picked the boat with a crane and moved to a new location on the grounds. It held up fine.
I am collecting money to have an outside contractor to do the job. We are in the process of getting bids on the job .
I am asking all members to donate at least 20.00 dollars or more if you can to the fund to do this job.
We are all getting older every day. Our minds tell we can do it ourselves, BUT our bodies say No Way
This a major job. I am asking you all to please donate to this Memorial
The donations are" NOT" tax deductible
We do not have a tax number.
Please make all checks out to me;
