A NIGHT TO REMEMBER: SAVE THE HERNDON BELL
You and your guest(s) are cordially invited to a memorable evening on March 5th from 4PM-7PM to lead the charge in saving recovered SS Central America/Herndon Bell for final placement near the Herndon Monument on the Yard at our US Naval Academy.

The evening reception will be held aboard the iconic Battleship IOWA at the Port of Los Angeles with Herndon Bell donor Dwight Manley and several prominent class of ’83 alumni in attendance. This is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to attend an exclusive event that will support a high visibility project at the US Naval Academy.

The Herndon Bell, truly priceless in value, is being generously donated by accomplished sports agent, real estate developer, and rare coin expert Dwight Manley. Although Dwight is not a Naval Academy graduate or veteran, he is passionate about the project and made this generous commitment to remember the SS Central America, the lives lost, and importantly, the heroism of CDR William Lewis Herndon. Please join us in supporting this rare opportunity for the class of ’83 to be a part of something truly unique as a Naval Academy graduating class.

Your generous support will help cover the cost of the construction and installation of the Herndon Bell monument at USNA. As a class, we will need to raise a minim $35,000 and any additional funds raised will go toward our class legacy project.

Please join us by attending the Save the Herndon Bell reception on March 5th $100 per person. There are opportunities for corporate sponsorship as well for this event. Reach out to Dennis for more details.

Look for a follow up email at the end of this week for the opportunity to make a direct donation to the project. We are hopeful that several class of ’83 alumni have the capacity and willingness to make a contribution towards this important project. Let’s show Dwight that we appreciate his support, generous contributions, and belief in the great class of ’83.

Please contact one of us, if we can count on you to contribute a larger sum toward this important project.
