Tamaroa Not For Profit Group - We are looking into the formation of a group known as the Friends of the Tamaroa. It will be a not for profit group dedicated to a number of things. Here is a partial list. As a trule friend of her or a past crew member, we would be interested in hearing from you about additional goals for the group. among the items we are
entertaining are:
1)Lobby the CG to name another cutter Tamaroa.
2)Provide support for other Ex-cutters headed for the scrap pile.
3)Promote the contributions of work boats such as tugs and fireboats to the fabric of American society.
4)Provide support to whoever owns the Tamaroa to use her for educational purposes relative to the sea.
5)Raise funds in the event that the Tamaroa comes up for sale again, so that we can purchase her.

If any of you have other ideas that we can use to provide the foundation for an application for not for profit status, we would appreciate hearing from you. e-mail coastie166@aol.com.

Thanks,
Bill D.
