This time of year, we look forward to financially empowering one of our member non-profits.

I think Bill was so helpful because he knew the BRAC process, he knew the shipyard and he could articulate its mission.

We need to be sharing ideas of what to do when lots of people come here. We need to pick one to try and execute it sometime in the coming year.

I continue to believe that locally, we continue to benefit from a positive bounce in shipyard-related news (despite) higher gasoline prices and other national news that might cause people to be cautious.

It?s well intentioned, but in the end inefficient.

We are glad to finally get this project done. We have been wanting this done for a long time, and now it looks as if it's almost done.
