Membership Renewal
The beginning of our fiscal year, September 1, has come and gone
. A number of our valued members have yet to renew their memberships.  As a non-profit 501 (c) (3) and a fully volunteer organization, The Marine Historical Society of Detroit counts on members like you to help support its endeavors in the preservation of Great Lakes maritime history. As we all know, many fine chapters of history have drawn to a close as the size of the Great Lakes fleet continues to dwindle. With your help we will continue fulfilling our mission, which is to remember the ships and sailors that have plied the Great Lakes and their contributions to our history.  Renewal notices were sent to all members in August.

We appreciate your past support of the Society, its programs and publications. We certainly hope that you will continue to be a part of our future and we look forward to providing you the many benefits of membership that you have enjoyed in the past. We ask that you return your renewal notice with your $30.00 payment in U.S. funds only, please, to Bob Pocotte at 606 Laurel Ave. Port Clinton, Ohio - 43452.  Your promptness in renewing your membership is appreciated.
