THE CHRISTENING AND COMMISSIONING CEREMONIES FOR A NAVY SHIP ARE LONG-STANDING AND REVERED TRADITIONS THAT PROMOTE PATRIOTISM AMONG THOSE WHO ATTEND AND DEMONSTRATES TO THE CREW OF THE VESSEL THAT THE PUBLIC APPRECIATES THE GREAT SACRIFICES THEY MAKE TO DEFEND OUR NATION. A COMMISSIONING CEREMONY IS COSTLY, AND CONGRESS ONLY PROVIDES VERY LIMITED FUNDS FOR BASICS SUCH AS BUNTING, ATTENDEE STANDS AND BUS TRANSPORTATION FROM A LOCAL HOTEL TO THE CEREMONY. TO GIVE THE CREW AND THE PUBLIC THE PROPER CEREMONY, THE COMMITTEE MUST RAISE THE NECESSARY FUNDS TO ORGANIZE VARIOUS EVENTS SUPPORTING THE CEREMONY AND THE ACCOMPANYING CELEBRATIONS. DONATED FUNDS ARE USED TO PURCHASE ITEMS FOR THE CREW THAT ARE NOT SUPPLIED BY THE NAVY, SUCH AS EXERCISE AND ENTERTAINMENT EQUIPMENT TO BE USED BY THE CREW WHILE AT SEA, AND OTHER AMENITIES THAT IMPROVE THE QUALITY OF LIFE FOR THE CREW AS THEY ENDURE MONTHS AT SEA IN CLOSE QUARTERS, AND AWAY FROM HOME AND THEIR LOVED ONES, IN DEFENSE OF OUR NATION. FUNDS ARE ALSO USED FOR PLAQUES AND OTHER EMBLEMATICS AND MEMORABILIA THAT HONOR THE CREW FOR BEING 'PLANK OWNERS', WHICH ARE THE FIRST CREW MEMBERS TO MAN THE SHIP. ADDITIONALLY, SOME OF THESE FUNDS ARE USED TO HELP ESTABLISH AND SUPPORT THE COMMAND'S FAMILY SUPPORT GROUP TO PROVIDE ASSETS/RESOURCES TO FAMILY MEMBERS OF THE CREW THROUGHOUT THE YEAR. DONATED FUNDS ARE USED TO DEFER THE COSTS OF BRINGING CREW MEMBERS BACK TO IOWA TO PARTICIPATE IN INDIVIDUAL AND GROUP EVENTS SUCH AS THE IOWA STATE FAIR, IRISH FEST, VETERAN'S AND MEMORIAL DAY SERVICES AND RAGBRAI (THE REGISTER'S ANNUAL GREAT BIKE RIDE ACROSS IOWA) TO INCREASE AWARENESS AMONG THE CITIZENS OF IOWA REGARDING THE NAVY AND USS IOWA; CREATING A LIFELONG BOND BETWEEN THE CITIZENS OF IOWA AND THE CREW THAT WILL MAN THEIR NAMESAKE U.S. NAVY VESSEL, AND; TO PROMOTE THE IMPORTANCE OF SCIENCE, TECHNOLOGY, ENGINEERING AND MATH (STEM) SUBJECTS IN EDUCATING OUR YOUTH. 0 12840 12840 BELL MICHELLE FINANCE DIRECTOR 6.00 0 0 0 DORR FRED EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR- FUNDRAISING 10.00 0 0 0 HUDSON THOMAS EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR 15.00 0 0 0 JENSEN PAUL EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR- LOGISTICS 10.00 0 0 0 MACCREA DOUGLAS CHAIRMAN 15.00 0 0 0 OHRT JONALEE RECORDING SECRETARY 2.00 0 0 0 SCHNEIDER CALEB EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR 10.00 0 0 0 SCHNEIDER JORDAN COMMUNICATIONS DIRECTOR 10.00 0 0 0 TANNER MAT EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR 10.00 0 0 0 X 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 DOUGLAS MACCREA 226 5TH AVENUE SW CEDAR RAPIDS IA 52404 5154500773 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 NONE NONE 1 X 859 56894 107072 244681 27700 437206 859 56894 107072 244681 27700 437206 99063 338143 6 1 185 1730 2273 4195 1559 4412 22678 6778 35427 476828 0.70920 0.73520 X SCHEDULE A, PART II, LINE 10, EXPLANATION OF OTHER INCOME: SALES OF PROMOTIONAL MATERIALS - 2021 AMOUNT: $ 1,559. 2022 AMOUNT: $ 4,412. 2023 AMOUNT: $ 22,678. 2024 AMOUNT: $ 6,778.
