Portsmouth Submarine & Maritime Association will be holding its annual Albacore Park Gala fundraiser on Saturday, October 26th, 2024 at the Atlantic Grill restaurant, located at 5 Pioneer Road, Rye, NH 03870. The event starts at 6:00pm (with an end time of 9:00pm), and will consist of hors d’oeuvres, a sit-down dinner, special guest speaker, Dr. Al Naqvi from the American Institute of Artificial Intelligence, and a silent auction featuring a dazzling array of items generously donated by various businesses, organizations, and artists here on the Seacoast.
Albacore Park, a National Historic Landmark Site in Portsmouth, NH that famously offers walk-through tours of the decommissioned submarine, USS Albacore (AGSS-569), is currently undergoing its first building expansion—a 1,500 square foot extension to the existing visitor center—since the museum originally opened in 1986. Funds raised from this year’s gala will go toward completing the expansion and displaying new exhibits, as well as additional ongoing projects.
Tickets can be purchased online by visiting AP2024.eventbrite.com or by scanning the QR code in the flyer. Guests will be asked to make their choice of entree upon ticket purchase. If you’re unable to attend this event but would like to donate to Albacore Park in other ways, please visit them online at ussalbacore.org/donate.
