2020 has been an extremely challenging year for everyone and we hope you, your family and loved ones are doing well. Due to the virus shutdowns and restrictions, we have had to cancel the 2020 Lobster Feast, but our plans are to be back in 2021! We have decided to once again hold our Annual Shrimp Boil, which will take place at our Center in the latter part of February 2021. Watch for the news and announcements. We could not keep our doors open to annually serve the thousands of foreign and domestic merchant seafarers without your continued support. These seafarers bring in 90% of the goods we use in our everyday lives at a personal sacrifice to them. Thank you for your support past, present and future!

Coast Guard Day is held each year on August 4. This day commemorates the founding of the US Coast Guard on August 4, 1790, by then Secretary of the Treasury Alexander Hamilton. At that time, the Coast Guard was called the Revenue Marine. On that day, the US Congress authorized the building of a fleet of Revenue Service Cutters, who were to enforce the first tariff laws established by the US Congress.

Our area is truly blessed to have a large and active contingency of Coast Guard Men and Women working to secure our Ports and our waterways, a well as our own security. Remember when they were helping all of us during Hurricane Harvey? They didn't come from out of nowhere. They live here! And while they were rescuing many of us....some of their own homes were flooding.

So take some time to give our Coasties a special thank you, an extra pat on the back, and let them know how much you appreciate their service!

Amazon.com has a community giving site called Amazon.com Smile. They give a portion of the proceeds of sales to the charity listed. It would be most appreciated that when you make your next purchase, you pick the Corpus Christi International Seamen's Center as the charity you would like to support. The thousands of foreign and domestic merchant seafarers we support will benefit greatly and it would be most appreciated.
Thank you!
