Bainbridge Island Rededication:

We are looking at 23 May for the Plaque dedication at Station S on Bainbridge Island. We wanted it to be as close to Memorial Day as possible so we can tie that into the importance of the work done there during WWII.

As you may remember, the original plaque at the site of the station on the island disappeared. Holding the rededication on May 23, would allow us to host participants at the historic Fort Ward Community Hall (built as US Coast Artillery Bakery, then converted to Power House for Station S) after the event. It would also mean that we could do something at the Fort Ward Parade Grounds and/or give participants a tour of Station S.
