October Meeting Reminder and National USSVI Election Results

The next Seattle Base meeting is this coming Wednesday, October 17, 2018. We will meet at VFW Post #2995 (4330 148th Ave N.E., Redmond WA 98052). Social hour starts at 6PM with business meeting at 7PM.

Our normal messcook Steve will be out-of-town for the meeting, so we a looking for a volunteer to cover mid-rats for the meeting.

During the business meeting we'll cover upcoming events for the year. We are also looking for a volunteer to tow the Seattle Base float at the Auburn Veterans Day Parade on November 10.

The program for October will be a presentation by Base Commander Ric Hedman of an interior walk-through of the USS Dolphin (SS 169) AKA Submarine D1.

We hope to see you at the meeting.
