USS Washtenaw County Veterans Association & Reunion Payments
At a meeting held during our 2005 reunion in Ann Arbor, Washtenaw County, Michigan, the USS Washtenaw County Veterans Association was voted into existence, and officers were elected. The purpose of the Association is to maintain and promote a strong and cohesive organization; to foster the spirit of goodwill among its members; to afford opportunities for communication, enjoyment, companionship, recreation and involvement among shipmates their families and friends; to perpetuate the camaraderie developed among those who have served in the United States Navy; and to preserve the ship’s prominent place in history as a highly decorated warship in the service of the United States of America.

Reunion hosts should find it easier to deal with hotels and other organizations with the Association's backing. In the future the goal is for the Association to become a non-profit corporation (see update below).

Membership is open to all former crewmembers who served aboard the USS Washtenaw County and who were separated under honorable conditions, their spouses, and others who share the ideals of the Association. Family members of deceased crewmembers are most certainly welcome, as are crewmembers of LanShipRon 9 ships and other LST's.

At present annual Association dues are $25 or $70 for three years, and is in addition to reunion registration fees. Please join to support the Association.
