Welcome Aboard:
Welcome aboard! We are the Massachusetts Bay Council of the
Navy League of the United States.
The Navy League of the United States was founded in 1902 with the
encouragement of President Theodore Roosevelt. The Navy League is
unique among military-oriented associations in that it is a civilian
organization dedicated to the education of our citizens, including our
elected officials, and the support of the men and women of the sea services
and their families. Further
information may be obtained by visiting the web site
www.navyleague.org.
The Massachusetts Bay Council, as
chartered by the Navy League of the U.S., is a non-profit, educational,
501.c.3 organization with roots back to 1955; With one thousand members and
not charging any local dues, we support our Sea Services in many ways.
We make many awards to Navy, Coast Guard and Marine personnel, as well as
NROTC and JROTC units in eastern Massachusetts, sponsor eight Sea and League
Cadet units, sponsor a Maritime Symposium for college students, raise funds
for the Marine Toys for Tots program, and much more.
We sponsored commissioning in Boston of
USS SAMPSON (DDG 102) in November, 2007, USS PREBLE (DDG 88) in 2002;
and earlier, USS RAMAGE, USS BUNKER HILL and USS SAMUEL ELIOT MORISON; as
well as assisting the Coast Guard with several commissionings.
We also promulgate a Directory of Sea Service Commands and Related
Organizations each year, a much used information source.
EVENTS: SHIP VISITS/TOURS WERE HELD DURING MARCH - AUGUST.
Navy Leaguers were invited to visit several Navy ships during this
year. If you missed them, it means we do not have your email address.
