I've been helping on this with some other people.
To fund it, we had the 1st Texas hold'em card game friday night, It was very successful and we look for it to get bigger.
There is a little more work to do to the building, then we can get to building reefs. As a member [$35yr] you have full rights to build your own reef there or give a hand and have other's help build them for yourself. All tool's are furnished and most all the material's too. Donation's of goods and material's gets you a receipt for a tax right off. This has been very successful for construction companies with their waste of rebar and such. They get full right off for it.
We will be giving one per month away for free.
This is a non for profit organization. It is a 1/2 block off the water of Pensacola Bay.
This is not just a clubhouse to hang out at. There are some VERY determined folk's to make this happen.
Membership is aprox 85 member's now.
We have gotten elementary school kid's involved. [Reef Rangers]
