On Sunday, May 24, 2015, the USS Silversides Submarine Museum will hold the 29th Annual Lost Boat Ceremony to honor the 52 USN submarines that were lost during WW11 and the over 3500 men who are still on “eternal patrol.”

The ceremony will begin at 11:00am with a fly over by a local warbird group, The Hooligans. The keynote address will be delivered by Captain Michael B. Ryan, commanding officer and professor of Naval Science at the Naval Reserve Officers Training Corps Unit at the University of Notre Dame. The ceremony concludes with the starting of the Silversides’ engines.

You are invited to a free lunch following the ceremony and will have time to explore the museum and vessels at no charge up until 1:00pm.

If interested and wanting more information, contact Frank Marczak, Associate Director, at 231-755-1230 or e-mail to: fmarczak@silversidesmuseum.org

MUSKEGON, Mich.—Earth Day is less than a month away, but now is the time to sign up to clean up a Muskegon jewel.

Volunteers are needed again this year to clear the Muskegon Lake watershed of trash.  The cleanup will run from 8:30 a.m. to 1 p.m. Sunday, April 26.  The event is being coordinated by The Muskegon Lake Watershed Partnership, United Way of the Lakeshore and West Michigan United Labor.

Last year, dozens of artists transformed junk and debris from the shoreline into art.  Proceeds from the Muskegon Lake Project artwork went to the Muskegon Lake Watershed Partnership.

To volunteer for this year’s cleanup, contact Kathy Evans by emailing kathy@muskegonlake.org .
