A Letter from our Chairmen
Dear Friend,

We hereby extend an invitation to you to become an official member of the Friends of the Marine Hospital support committee. Our mission is to support the building restoration in every way possible. We will be assisting with tours of the building, speaking to civic, social, business, and church groups about the restoration to broaden knowledge and interest, writing articles for newspapers, newsletters, church and government publications, assisting in fund raising, and generally “getting the word out” to individuals and groups.

Annual dues are $10.00 and are tax deductible. Any larger contributions will be very much appreciated. As a member, you will receive a membership card and periodic informational updates. Please make out your check to the U.S. Marine Hospital Foundation, and send with your name and address to Friends of the Marine Hospital, 2215 Portland Avenue, Louisville, KY 40212. 

Please take advantage of this unique opportunity to relive river history and have a part in restoring one of Louisville’s most prominent historic landmarks.

Sincerely,
Bill LaFollette, Co-chair Chuck Parrish, Co-chair
