Congratulations to Perch Base Submarine Veterans (USSVI) Associate Member Alice Woods for receiving a USSVI National 2024 Silver Anchor Award. The awards were announced at the USSVI National Convention held in Cleveland, OH.
The Silver Anchor Award is presented to a Regular or Associate Member in recognition of his/her efforts to support one of the primary objectives of our Creed…to provide a way for all submariners to gather for their mutual benefit and enjoyment.
This Award recognizes the Shipmate’s volunteer support for meetings, projects, and events, including work to recruit new Members and to retain the current membership of the Base, and is intended to recognize recent accomplishments.
Alice was recognized for her coordination of the Shopping Showcase on August 30th & 31st, 2023, during the 2023 USSVI National Convention in Tucson, AZ. In addition to Alice's contribution during the 2023 Convention, she also supports Perch Base. Another recent example is her refurbishment (with Georgianne Gahan) of our wreaths for Perch Base and the WWII Submarine Veterans, used during Memorial Day and the Pearl Harbor Remembrance Day ceremonies.
