This holiday season I'll brief, but share with you the continuing "Sheboyganizing" of WINSA.

The WINSA Board of Directors has approved the addition to the Board of Chris Kennedy.   Chris is Office President of both the West and North branches of Community Bank & Trust (WINSA'S banking entity).   Chris was ALSO voted to the position of Treasurer.   Chris will be working with Dan Gill right after the beginning of the year to complete this transition.
 
We also extend a thank you for the many years of service of Attorney Mike Woodburn as our legal officer and as a Board Member.   Attorney Dwight Darrow has stepped in as our legal consultant and advisor.
 
WINSA is in the process of relocating all inventory of the WINSA ship store to Sheboygan and thanks Dr. John Reitz for donated storage space at his office.

As always if you have any questions concerning what is going on within WINSA or NAVMEC feel free to contact Larry Hinkelman @ 920 452 9446 or email palh@powercom.net or Char Pachniak @ 920-254-1584 or 920-254-8777 (museum phone) or email char@pachniak.com or info@usscanon.com

SPONSOR A MILE  &  HONOR THAT VETERAN KEEPING US SAFE THIS HOLIDAY SEASON

Canon front view
One of the major expenses of bringing the USS Canon to Sheboygan is the cost of the towing.   Why not consider sponsoring a mile ($125) of this 3,200+ mile trip from Pennsylvania to Sheboygan.   Wisconsin Naval Ship Association is a 501c3 and donations are tax deductible.   Send checks to WINSA/NAVMEC 3120 S. Business Drive, Suite 140, Sheboygan, WI  53081.  The map of the journey can be found at the museum facebook page or theUSS Canon cause page.
 
Donations can be made quickly & safely right on line at the USS Canon cause page. 
 
 
Why not sponsor a mile in recognition of that special relative -- a veteran that can't be with you this holiday season.
