FROM: Croton Yacht Club 1/28/2021 updated
I am hoping you can help out with our College Scholarship fundraising effort by participating in this auction of items donated from the estate of a friend of the Croton Yacht Club, Ed Mertz. Ed was a local naturalist and photographer who was a frequent attendee of many of our events and supporter of our Scholarship program. The mission of the scholarship is to cultivate future local environmental leaders, to develop future advocates and stewards of local marine resources and to enhance, promote and protect local river- related recreational resources. The scholarship is awarded to deserving Croton High School graduates who are pursuing undergraduate studies in the fields of marine, maritime, environmental engineering or environmental science.
(See the complete "Happenings" for auction listings)
Individuals can submit an offer on any item to me via email to [email protected] or I can be reached by phone at 914-907-3622. I can send photos or arrange to meet individuals who are interested in any item. There are also pages of terminal tackle and lower end items which are also available upon request. All reasonable offers will be considered.
Regards, Dennis Kooney
