Upcoming Events and Activities

Shipmates,

During our meeting on March18th we talked about some fundraising plans and Base outings. Here is some information on a couple upcoming items.

Cabela's
The first 2015 meet and greet/fundraising event at Cabela’s Tulalip store (9810 Quil Ceda Blvd, Tulalip, WA 98271) is happening this coming weekend March 28 and 29.

We will have the Seattle Base float parked at their front door and our exhibit times are from 10 am until 4 pm on both days.

We can use some support from the membership for manning. Ideally we’d like to have six shipmates on each day with some in the morning (9:30 AM to 1 PM) and some afternoon (1PM to 4 PM). But if you can only make it by for an hour or two, that would be great! Whatever your schedule allows is okay, we just want to see you there.

If you can make it, please email Pat Householder so he can get a rough count.

Boeing Restoration Center Tour
Our first 2015 field trip is a visit the Boeing Restoration Center at Paine Field in Everett on Saturday, April 11.

This Restoration Center is like no museum you’ve seen and is staffed by volunteers, primarily former Boeing employees. These men bring years of experience and the skills required to bring back to life almost any type of aircraft imaginable. Some volunteers have logged over 20,000 hours of dedicated service, It is a must see.

We plan to meet at Jimmy Jacks restaurant (13428 Hwy 99, Everett, WA 98204) for breakfast at 9am. From Jimmy Jacks we will congregate at the Boeing Restoration Center entrance at 10am (the center is just a couple miles from the restaurant). The cost of breakfast is at your expense and the Restoration Center fee is a whopping $5.00.

We have made arrangements with the Restoration Center to provide a guide for our party.

If you would like to join us for the tour, please contact Dick Gonzalez by email or phone (425-228-6327) so he can get a head count for final arrangements.

The sooner you let him know, the better. We would really like to hear from you, if possible, by the end of March. Let Dick know the number of people in your party (including yourself). Of course exceptions will be made if you need to decide later than the end of month.

We hope to see you at one or both of these events!
