Museum Donation Challenge:
   As many of you know our association is the only association in the country that has a traveling museum dedicated to our ship. The U.S.S. Wainwright mobile museum periodically makes appearances at parades and veterans functions around the country. This is an effort of love for many of our association members. It takes time, effort, and money to be able to keep our ship's history alive and exhibited at the various events that the museum makes appearances at.
   An anonymous benefactor has generously offered to match any donations to the traveling museum up to $2000.00 between now and the end of the Branson Reunion. If you would like to make a donation at the reunion please see an association board member or there will be a place in the hospitality room to collect donations. If you would like to make a donation for the museum prior to the reunion whether you are going to the reunion or not, you can send it to:
USS Wainwright Veterans Association
C/O Manny Seligmann
609 Rotonda Circle
Rotonda West, FL 33947
Thank you for your support.

The USS Wainwright Veterans Association is a 501(c) 3 non-profit association of men who served aboard any of the three USS Wainwright ships. Our association exists to keep alive the memory of all vessels named Wainwright. With our mobile museum we educate the public about what our sailors have accomplished, and or completed while onboard any of the ship's named Wainwright. This mobile museum also promotes the United States Navy and Americanism, but we cannot do this without your support. We need your donations to support cost of operating this one of a kind teaching tool. Your donations are 100% tax deductible so please be generous and help us keep our museum going. Donations can be made on our web site http://www.usswainwright.org/donate/
