Brown”\, a Liberty Ship berthed in Baltimore\, that is maintained and sailed by volunteers during “living cruises” that take paying guests out for a day several times a year. Tours of the ship\, narrations\,docents\, re-enactments of significant WWII political and military figures and\, under favorable weather conditions \,aerial “dog fights”  overhead by mid-century authentic WWII military allied and enemy aircraft! A slide show of these tours will be shown during the talk. \nCMR Yunker graduated from Kings Point Merchant Marine Academy 48 years ago\, and became a Naval Aviator and commercial pilot\,while maintaining his USCG license as Unlimited Third Mate and Third Assistant Engineer. He lives in Heathsville\, Va.\, and is an enthusiastic volunteer with the John W.

SUMMARY:Roadside Cleanup Day
DESCRIPTION:This is a great way for your organization/group to spend a couple hours and have a positive impact on our beloved county. Show you care – come out and help! \nFree doughnuts\, coffee and hot chocolate!\nFree pizza courtesy Island Stop for lunch!\nDoor Prizes!! Prize for most bags picked up!! \nWhen: ***Saturday November 11th\, 2017 \nTime: 8am – Meet at Visitors Center to pick up trash bags\, safety vests\, safety briefing\, and free doughnuts! \nNoon – By noon\, please return to visitor center to report how many bags were collected and where. And stay for several great door prizes and free pizza party! \nLocation: Mathews Visitor Center. You can select a road section to clean\, or the Visitor Center will provide locations. \nProcess: Before November 11th\, contact the Mathews Visitor Center\, or call or email\, with your organization’s name\, how many people you anticipate will help\, and the section of road you will clean up. Be sure to list all your volunteer’s names – we want to make sure every organization and volunteer is recognized for their efforts! \nSaturday the 11th: Come enjoy free doughnuts and coffee at the Mathews Visitor Center and pick up your supplies (if you have not already done so). Clean up your road – and leave the orange bags on the road; VDOT will pick up bags. Then return to the Visitors Center for prizes\, and free pizza party! \nRecommendations: It’s best to have at least 4 volunteers working together – two for each side of the road\, one on each side of the ditch. Also it’s a good idea to wear rubber boots\, and bring a pole or crabbing net on a pole – those help pick trash out water/ditches. And please bring your own gloves! You can expect to clean about 1 mile per hour with 4 volunteers\, depending on the road. All groups must have at least one person over 18 to supervise any volunteers under 18. \nContact:\nMathews Visitor Center\, 804-725-4229\nEmail: mathewsvisitorcenter@gmail.com\nOr Lori Dusenberry\, 804-725-6623 \n***NOTE: In event of rain\, the rain date is Saturday November 18 th .
