membership Friends of the CGTA Annual Membership Dues - $25.00 Signup form below Your USCG Tug Association has embarked on a new and
historically significant operation. As many of you already know as
regular visitors to our now-famous web site, the CGTA has, after 5
years and 3 ship-attempts, finally acquired the former USCGC Apalachee
(WYTM 71). Our intention is to preserve and promote her as a CG and
national maritime museum and training platform for the next generation
of Coasties, Navy, and Merchant Marine sailors. The vessel was donated
to us for this purpose, but your Tug Association needs your help to
carry on the maintenance and preservation of the ship.
This project was discussed in detail at our 4th
With this decision, the immediate need for continuous funding
of this monumental undertaking becomes a primary issue. While we have
always depended on member donations to support our activities, this
project requires a long-term commitment from the membership. To that
extent, the members at the reunion meeting also unanimously decided to
institute annual membership dues of $25.00 per year. With our current
+/- 475 members at $25 each, that’s an extraordinary $11,875 per
year. With current fund raising efforts, grant prospects, and cost
sharing with our Please “saddle up” and support your CGTA with your annual dues contributions. Keep in mind, dues and contributions to support our efforts are fully tax deductible. An annual dues card and donation letter will be sent to all those who participate, along with the names of those in support on a plaque on board. Please help us save the last pristine USCG 110-ft tug from becoming a reef or scrap. Please send your dues and donations to: USCG Tug
