KALAKALA BULLETIN No. 2

Week ending June 9, 2006
 
The Kalakala Charter Membership Drive starting June 1, 2006 is closed. Our charter members list is posted on our website www.kalakala.org, and, if you are a past charter member and your name is not listed please contact us via email:olympicforum2000@usa.net. We thank all past members and donors for their help. The results included keeping the Kalakala safe, moving to a resting place, getting State and National registrations, and master planning a Kalakala terminal and Maritime Museum to be share the Kalakala with future
generations. Today, we are preparing for shipyard works both on the water and at dry dock.

This can be accomplished, and June 1, 2006 the Kalakala Shipyard fund drive is called, the "Kalakala Club" . The Kalakala Club fund goal is $250,000, and we are targeting this fund drive to end on/before July 1, 2007. The funds will be disbursed to pay for estimated fees including; $15,000 insurance and hull survey (and extending the current U.S. Coast Guard Certificate of Financial Responsibility), $25,000 moorage, $5,000 towing, $100,000 dry dock painting contract, $60,000 shipyard dry-dock fees, hull ultra sound testing, and $45,000 shipyard on-the-water and shop fabrications. The foundation will seek materials and supplies, equipment, professional in-kind services, and labor volunteers starting June 2006 through July 2007.

You can help us by renewing your annual charter membership or joining the new Kalakala Club. We look forward to continued success, and seeing everyone at the Kalakala's 72nd Anniversary on July 3-4, 2007 in Tacoma Hylebos Creek Waterway!

Thank you,
Steve Rodrigues
President and Chairman of the Board
