Your daily vote will help give away $1 million to preserve historic places in the Washington, D.C. Metro area.  You can vote every day April 24 - May 10 for Living Classrooms Historic Fleet. As a valued partner and friend of Living Classrooms, we would be honored to have your vote to Keep our Fleet Afloat!

Open House!

As part of this campaign, we will be hosting an open house for our boats at the Southwest Waterfront, Gangplank Marina, on Saturday May 4^th  from 12pm-3pm. This will be a great opportunity to check out our vessels first hand, meet some of the crew, and enjoy some light refreshments. Cantina Marina, also located at the Gangplank Marina, will be donating 10% of proceeds during the open house- so we encourage everyone to visit our friends at Cantina for some drinks or a beautiful lunch on the water. 

 

If you have any questions, please don't hesitate to reach out. As mentioned above, we will provide more detailed instructions for this exciting campaign on April 24^th. We hope you will support us by spreading the word and joining us at our open house on May 4^th.

 

Sincerely yours,
