Hello all - I am in the midst of doing my estate planning. The process has helped me reflect on what is valuable to me. NSPN has been a very important part of my world for decades. I have appreciated our community: the friendships I have made, the skills, the fun, feeling safer in everyone's company to enjoy the challenging adventures of the ocean and the natural world together. I know we are a volunteer organization but I am wondering if some infusion of monies were NSPN to be around when I die, might be useful.
Perhaps, creating a fund to help older or less mobile folks get on the water when we are less able. Or a fund to hire far flung leaders to do local skills. Scholarships for exotic trips for folks who might not be able to afford them. More money for parties.
There are lots of possibilities but I am just putting it out there to solicit your ideas. What do you think??
