Golf Outing to
Support the
NC Maritime Museum at Southport
March 13, 2010 –
Southport, North Carolina
(NC) -
The North Carolina Maritime Museum at Southport is going to be
renovating and moving in to the barracks on
Ft. Johnston. To help defray costs in this effort The Friends of
the North Carolina Maritime Museum at Southport are going to be
holding a
golf tournament at
The Members Club at St. James on Wednesday, April 28th.
The community's support at
this critical juncture in the future development of the museum. The
Maritime Museum attracted more than 40,000 visitors in 2009. With
the new location, expanded museum displays, and additional
artifacts, the Museum's goal is to at least double the number of
visitors. By attracting more visitors to the Southport area the
Museum expects to influence every business in the area and continue
to tell the history of southeastern North Carolina and Southport.
This renovation of the Ft.
Johnston site will, of course, require a substantial amount of
money. The Friends of the North Carolina Maritime Museum at
Southport is a 501 (c.) 3. tax exempt organization. Playing in the
tournament and donations will help in making the golf tournament a
success. While this tournament will not afford the Friends the
luxury of paying for all of our expenses, it will be an excellent
start.
Sponsors and players are
needed for this fund raising effort. The entry cost of $85 includes
green fees, golf cart, social hour, and dinner along with the usual
entertainment to be expected at this kind of event. Raffles, door
prizes, and silent and oral auctions will be used to instill
excitement and ensure all players have an enjoyable time. The
captain's choice scramble will tee off at 10:30 on April 28th. For
more information, please contact Jim Carey at 910-253-6331 or visit

The Friends of the Museum and
this community face many challenges in the future. However, by
working together it will happen.
