This is a status report on the progress at Deterrent Park, Bangor Sub Base, Silverdale, WA and a request for tax deductible donations. When complete, Deterrent Park will be a Gift to the Navy to honor all submariners on the 100th Anniversary of the Submarine Force in April 2000. It is also a Washington State registered charity and non-profit corporation.
Donations are tax deductible.
There are no paid staff and no paid fundraiser personnel. The Association's only expenses are construction costs and a very small advertising budget. The placement of Deterrent Park also stands as a constant reminder to the hundreds of Active Duty Submarine Crew, and Support Personnel stationed at Bangor of the service and sacrifice of those who have gone before. As you probably know, the park is being built with private money. There is also a vigorous campaign to attract sponsorship from the builders and contractors who built, repaired and maintained our boats, as well as a campaign to attract sponsorship from Puget Sound area businesses and corporations.
