SafestCatch.net Fishermen's Memorial Dinner
Fishermen's Memorial 11/15/2016
SafestCatch.Net ~ Safest Catch dot Net
The Seattle Fishing Community Gathered on Tuesday November 15th to remember those that have gone before us and raise funds at it's annual Dinner Auction. The Seattle Fishermen's Memorial provides a valuable service to the community and we were honored to attend.
The Memorial is a charitable organization devoted to promoting safety in the fishing fleets and easing the emotional and financial burden of surviving family members of fishermen lost at sea. In furtherance of this commitment, the Memorial Board established an educational scholarship fund in 1999 to provide scholarships to eligible family members and other dependents who suffered the tragedy of losing their loved ones to the sea.
The Board's hope is that the scholarships will lessen the financial burden on these families and dependents who may not otherwise achieve their educational goals.
This year's Scholarship Recipients are:
Shelby Henry; Father Kurt Henry
Brian Long; Father Michael Long lost off the Aleutian Challenger
James Long; Father Michael Long lost off the Aleutian Challenger
Michaela Long; Father Michael Long lost off the Aleutian Challenger
Foster Grant Modesette; Father Harry Modesetter F/V Evanick
