The Mission of the Apalachicola Maritime
Museum Pursuant to
the charter filed with the Florida Secretary of State in the closing days of
2007, the mission of the AMM is set forth below. The
Corporation is organized exclusively for charitable, educational, and
scientific purposes within the meaning of Section 501(c)(3) of the Internal
Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the "Code"), including, but not
limited to, for such purposes, the making of distributions to organizations
that qualify as exempt organizations under Section 501(c)(3) of the Code (or
the corresponding provision of any future United States Internal Revenue
Law). Specifically,
the Corporation is organized to celebrate the maritime history of
Apalachicola in the form of a maritime museum, active sailing and boat
building and restoration programs, educational programs and stewardship of
ecosystems in the Apalachicola Chattahoochee Flint River System, the
Apalachicola Bay and the Gulf Coastal regions which rely upon river outflows. The Apalachicola,
Chattahoochee, Flint River System This map needs to be
expanded to show the effect of the Gulf Stream swirl on the nutrient rich
waters from the river. The effect of
the waterway is vital to the Gulf of Mexico as well. Someday our logo will reflect this vision
in a Celtic Tree of Life style image where the Gulf is the root ball. The mission of the museum will celebrate
the rich ecosystems and human inhabitants by educating, protecting and
promoting this very unique piece of the planet. Find the best of life
is free; Sun, Stars, Sky and Sea. George Kirvin Floyd |
