🤝 Make a Difference Day: Saturday, September 12, 2026
SCC CARES is proud to participate in Make a Difference Day — one of the largest national community service events of the year — on Saturday, September 12, 2026. This annual day of service brings together Club members, neighbors, and community volunteers to roll up their sleeves and give back to Sausalito.
Whether it’s a shoreline cleanup along Richardson Bay, maintenance and beautification at Dunphy Park, or a service project in partnership with a local nonprofit partner, Make a Difference Day is our chance to demonstrate that the spirit of service that built this Club in 1948 is alive and well today.
Watch this space for details on this year’s project and if you are in…sign up here to put your name on our volunteer list. Every hand helps.
☘️ Marinship Peace Park Initiative: Monday September 21, 2026 at 1:00pm (The International Day of Peace).
The story of Marinship is one of the most powerful transformation narratives in American history.
Between 1942-1945, ninety-three ships were built here. Twenty thousand Americans came from 48 states to build them - and to launch them from the shores of our tranquil Bay into the raging waters of a world at war.
Marinship closed in 1946, but 80 years later, these same shores hold the promise of something more enduring than the ships built here. This year, as our nation marks 250 years of American independence — we recognize a rare and timely opportunity: to not merely celebrate our Country’s evolution, but to reckon honestly with what America has built, what it has broken, and what it still has the opportunity to become. The Marinship evolution story of warships to friendships, tangibly reflects this opportunity: to transform a place born of war, to a place dedicated to peace.
The Marinship Peace Park would etch our community’s commitment to peace into the Sausalito’s landscape - a permanent historic and educational landmark: a gathering place for annual remembrance, a destination for students and visitors, and a lasting tribute to the arc from war-building to peacebuilding.
SCC CARES is proud to co-sponsor this initiative alongside our Sister City of Sakaide, Japan (whose 38 year partnership is the embodiment that warship can become friendships) the Sausalito Historical Society, Sausalito Foundation, Sausalito Rotary, Sausalito Beautiful, and a growing coalition of civic & individual partners committed to honoring this community's extraordinary history.
The work of friendship building and peacebuilding is our ongoing mission….We invite your support. Come join us on Sept 21st.
