IMPORTANT NOTICE: APRIL 13TH
MEETING
During the past nine years, the concept, request for, organization, funding, delivery, restoration, painting and dedication of an A-3 Skywarrior at Naval Air Station Whidbey Island was realized. Thank you to all that made the dream a success. Now it is time to chart new territory and look ahead to the future of the A-3 Skywarrior Whidbey Memorial Foundation. You, the membership, define the education based non-profit foundation and your input is desired to determine the future, identify the leadership, and to respond to Naval Air Station Whidbey Island tasking with regard to complying with the National Naval Aviation Museum directives as applies to names on display aircraft.
On Friday, April 13, 2018 at 1 pm, the A-3 Skywarrior Whidbey Memorial Foundation will conduct a general membership meeting in the Mount Baker Room at the CPO Club on Ault Field Road, Oak Harbor, WA. Our organization's future will be determined, nominations and elections will be conducted, and a response to Naval Air Station Whidbey Island with consensus for "no names" or "historical names" on the aircraft will be worked out.

 We,
the members of the A-3 Skywarrior Whidbey Memorial
Foundation, are pleased and proud to announce that we have
received a $15,000 donation from Island Thrift toward
completing our A-3 Whidbey Memorial. This, with their
previous donation of $10,000, makes this local organization
in Oak Harbor, Washington, the single largest contributor to
date. Island Thrift is generous and conscientious about
supporting local history, Navy and Community activities. It
is hoped that when you are in Oak Harbor, whether you live
here or just visiting, that you would consider dropping by
Island Thrift and either shopping there or donating at their
location, and most of all just leaving your thanks for all
their support.
