It Is Because of YOU We Exist
|
A huge "Thank You" goes to all of you who have supported, and we hope continue to support, the projects of Wisconsin Naval Ship Association.
All of us at WINSA wish all of you a very Merry Christmas and a safe and Happy New Year!

Ryba Terra (the contractor doing the dredging in our portion of the river) is leasing our entire exterior space plus all the available interior office space. The leasing has been a financial plus for us but will end in April 2013. When all is complete, WINSA will also have a brand new parking lot around the building. Everyone in the Ryba Terra crew has been great to work with and we thank them for their cooperation.
