Delaware River Day ’09
To stimulate the wearing of PFD's, Ship 484 of the Sea Scouts will produce a fashion show with bathing suite clad models, male & female and mothers with children and pets. Models will be demonstrating various PFDS. An announcer would describe the manufacturer, function & type of each PFD as the models walked down the steps of the runway.
The event will take place on the South pier at Penn’s Landing, and will be part of the kickoff for Delaware River Day ’09 from 12-6pm. We are looking for your help; this event and the Fashion show serves as a public service as well as a way to raise some funds to help serve the 20+ Ship 484 Sea Scouts who range from 14 to 21. These funds help to offset the cost of upkeep for their boat, as well as providing a fun and wholesome opportunity to promote the values of our common citizenship to God and Country. We thank you for your support in advance. Come, and join us, for this fun filled day. Donations can be sent to: Ship 484 c/o Delaware River Yacht Club, 9635 Milnor Street, PhiladelphiaPA, 19114.
