The boat's looking pretty good...
and, with new windows in the wheelhouse, we can see where we're going.
We've already done a trip to celebrate The Friends of Hudson River Park...
...and one for The United Nations Parade of Ships.
(Where we encountered these fabulous flying Sea Creatures off Governors Island)

There's still lots of work to be done
and, of course, funds are needed to accomplish this work.
Soooo.... we have an interesting offer

We thank you for your past consideration and fervently hope
that you will consider helping us with
another round of
tax deductible donations,
WE NEED VOLUNTEERS
AS WELL AS DONATIONS
We need volunteers for many on-going activities -
everything from helping with painting and maintenance,
to line handling and boat operations,
to greeting guests as they board.
We can use your existing skills or teach you new ones.
You can contribute as much, or as little of your time as you wish to offer.
Whether you're a boat fan, a firefighter, a student, a retired person, or just someone who would like some new experiences and meet some interesting new people,
we invite you to join us as a volunteer.
And, we always appreciate your participation as a donor.
(If your employer has a matching grant program, even better.)
So, please let us know how you'd like to be involved
with this magnificent historical vessel.
We look forward to hearing from you.
