Tall Ships volunteer Jerry Collen called last night with a request to get the word out on a project he's working on.
You see, Jerry's job is to pick up any mail for the ships at the downtown post office and deliver it to the sailors. He's trying to drum up a little advance business by encouraging local residents to write welcome letters to visiting sailors. Tell them about yourself. Give them visitor tips for Tacoma. Ask them to write back.
Sounds like just the job for my 8-year-old who's already complaining about being bored two weeks into summer vacation.
Address letters to:
Tall Ships Tacoma
(Name of Ship)
General Delivery
Tacoma, WA 98402
Let's fill up Jerry's mailbag.
