Hello Everyone,

Our next meeting is coming up!  We'll recognize our incoming and outgoing office holders and hear from our guest speaker CAPT Murray Gero, Commanding Officer of USS Ohio (Blue).  Murray has just returned from deployment and will be discussing SSGN Operations.  Our "guest boats" will be USS Ohio (Blue) and USS Henry M. Jackson (Gold).  Please RSVP if you haven't yet--we want to continue our great attendance at our quarterly meetings!  Looking forward to seeing all of you.

WHEN: Wednesday, May 19th, 2010.  Meet and greet starting at 11:30, Chef's Choice Buffet lunch at noon.

WHERE: Bangor Plaza, Naval Base Kitsap-Bangor.

COST: $15 at the door.  Thanks again to those of you who contribute a bit extra each month.  Even a couple of extra dollars helps support our active duty outreach program.

RSVP with Melissa Smith at (360) 394-8854/8850 or e-mail her at MELISSA.C.SMITH@saic.com by COB Monday, May 17th.  I'll turn in the numbers to Maria Tarver at Bangor Plaza on Tueday the 18th.

I've attached a "postcard" with an invitation to all for the Tolling the Boats Ceremony at Keyport Museum at 1000, Thursday 27 May.

I've also attached two Rhumb Lines for you, Executing the Maritime Strategy and an update on the flooding at Millington.

Thanks,

Bob
