#didyouknow that the port side of the ship is being painted by a contractor? After running into issues with our last contractor, we are happy to say that the ship will be painted once again. This money goes to the paint fund to paint the port side of the Clipper. The project is expected to wrap up by the fall of 2022. We are trying to raise $15,000 for the paint job. Let’s make this a March to remember. Plus, all donations are matched, and all donations are tax-deductible. By donating one gallon of paint, you will get your name in the next newsletter, plus you will be emailed a certificate thanking you for your donation. One gallon of paint costs $55.00. DONATE: Either go to our website https://www.milwaukeeclipper.com/painting where you can donate, or you can also mail us a check at 1370 Muskegon Michigan 49441. Thank you for your support!
