Again, thank you to all shipmates that have sent dues and donations to the Association.  Without your support, it would be impossible to publish "The Rolling Stone", find lost shipmates and have our reunions.  Dues are $20.00 a year, are tax deductible and are strictly voluntary. All dues are applied to the year they are received unless designated otherwise.  We recognize that not all are able to support the Association, but we welcome support from whomever is able.  Dues received to date for 2000 are listed below.  An asterisk indicates those that have paid dues for 2001.  If anyone has paid and your name is not listed, please accept our apology.   Please contact Kay Goble, at  6200 Emerald Pines Circle, Fort Myers, FL 33912, e-mail at president@usswhetstone.net  or  call (941) 768-1449.  Please use this list as your receipt as it is more cost effective than mailing individual receipts.

We have a  WebSite (usswhetstone.net) operated by Dave Vydra (RD-2, 58-61). This is taken from the Webmasters page:
I hope that you have enjoyed what has been done thus far.  There is still much to do.  How much more will depend a great deal on our members.  And, as this site is  an official Association publication, it has the obligation to serve all of the members as well as non-members.  I am still compiling the data-base that will comprise the "Crew Members" page.  I have some, but not many, tales of "Cruises" from past Rolling Stone News-letters.  With that said, this is what I am looking for to compliment the site.

SUPPORT!  I would like to express my appreciation to those who have expressed their desire to assist in the financial support to the site.  The Officers of the Association have committed to providing the funds necessary to cover the expenses involved.  However, the treasury of the Association is not currently in a position to do this.   Therefore, it was proposed and accepted that  the membership be asked for additional support.   A one-time voluntary contribution of $50.00 as a "Site Sponsor",  $25.00 as a "Site Supporter" or for $20.00 or less as a "Site Patron" will be acknowledged on the Crews Quarters page.  All contributions will be tax deductible and should be made out  to U.S.S. Whetstone Association.   Mail to: Kay Goble, 6200 Emerald Pines Circle, Fort Myers, FL 33912.   Indicate the purpose in the Memo space.  Should contributions exceed costs, the excess will remain deposited with the Assoc. for the next reunion.  As an official Association publication we have to maintain a site free of advertisements.  We would also like to Thank Jim Dunn who will cover the cost of the server.
