SEAPORT UPDATE 3/2012

1. We’ll start with the most exciting news: a second anonymous donor has stepped forward and raised the matching grant for the Lettie G. Howard 100×100* Fund to $12,000.
(*Can we say 100×120? It loses something in translation, but the more the merrier!)
…And we’re halfway there! Check the thermometer on our blog and you’ll see that we have reached $6,017 in pledges (and that will be doubled!). Please keep the donations coming, and be sure to specify that you’re donating by way of SOS so that the matching grant applies.

2. Next, we have Saturday Maintenance. Beth Childs reminds us to please RSVP, and passes on this message from Jay Amster:
“Just wanted to let you know that we’ll be focusing our efforts this Saturday on final preparations for Pioneer to go to the shipyard and preparing the Ambrose for the “South Street Seaport Springs Forward” party that’s this Monday the 12th.
Pioneer will leave this Saturday afternoon for the shipyard, and attached are some notes (scroll down) from Capt. Richard Dorfman about that, as well as directions to the shipyard.
In other news, NEXT WEEK we will run an Intro to Navigation Class.
Thanks very much,
Jay”
