Progress Report 2009

Much Progress Has Been Made...

13 June 2009: We are delighted to report that local philanthropists Letitia and John Carter have committed a 3 to 1 challenge grant in the amount of $100,000. That means that for every dollar you contribute to pay for this work within the next three months, the Carters will match it with three dollars of their own. The proceeds of the Carter grant (and the matching dollars you donate) will be reserved for paying for the engineering and environmental work required by the Navy before our project can proceed...

Welcome  to the Air, Land & Sea Heritage and Technology Park, a celebration of Rhode Island's naval heritage and technological future. Our proposal is to locate the Park -- featuring the former USS Saratoga (CV-60) as its centerpiece -- at the former Quonset Point Naval Air Station, North Kingstown, RI.

SARATOGA at Davisville Pier Two

The Saratoga is at this time still the property of the US Navy, and is not yet open to the public. A summary of the Heritage and Technology Park project can be viewed by selecting this link.

Our goal: To cross Narragansett Bay
--"The Last Cruise of the Saratoga"--
within the next 12 months...
with your help!

*** Volunteers Needed! ***

The lifeblood of any non-profit organization is its corps of volunteers. A gratifying number of you have already answered the call to help us save the carrier Saratoga and transform her into the centerpiece of a museum, education center and family attraction at Quonset Point.

Uncle Frank Needs You! Many of you have helped out by working a regular shift at our retail location in the Rhode Island mall. Perhaps you have manned a booth at the Quonset Air Show, Wickford Art Fair, Charlestown Seafood Festival or one of the other events at which we show our flag each year. Others have carried our banner in numerous parades, worked on our large carrier model, or helped out in the office.

We salute all of you who have already invested time in our non-profit endeavor.

As we get closer to our ultimate goal, we need new volunteers now more than ever. There is a task to fit every skill level and every level of physical ability. We have work to be done in Providence, Warwick and South County. For those of you who do not live in this area, we need help in outreach efforts to find other Saratoga veterans and help in fundraising.
