Here are the details:

I want my CMP!

Friends will ask the non-profit Community Maritime Park Associates (non-profit CMPA) at their December meeting to allow us to invest some "sweat equity" to clean-up the land for the Pensacola Bay Area's Vince J. Whibbs, Sr. Community Maritime Park (CMP).

Our goal is to provide some visible progress on the site. The idea is to spread out the "sweat equity" days across several weekday afternoons, and perhaps a Saturday or two. We are looking at January for the work to occur.

Our motivation is simple: We put the CMP up for a referendum, and the voters said, "We want our CMP!"

Now it is time for Friends of the Community Maritime Park to show we are willing to put our time and energy into making sure nothing steals our dream.

The Multi-Use Facility - see it for yourself!

Want to see for yourself why so many people speak so highly of the multi-use facility planned for the park? Then go right now to:
http://www.CommunityMaritimePark.com

or cut directly to the gallery at:
http://supporters.communitymaritimepark.com/page/gallery

and see them posted on the Friends' website.

Here is what you'll see:

The facility's graphics simulate four different uses for the multi-use facility: football, soccer, baseball, and concerts.

As you can see for yourself, the promise to provide a multi-use facility is being fulfilled.

Immediately below the graphics for the Multi-Use Facility, you'll find the graphics shown at the September Board of Trustees meeting regarding the Design Criteria.

The Design Criteria package was presented back to the Board at the Oct. 12 meeting. It is a public record, so if you want to see it for yourself immediately, call Ed Spears, acting executive director of the non-profit Community Maritime Park Associates (non-profit CMPA). His contact information is listed, along with the email addresses of all the members of the Board of Trustees, further down in this newsletter.
