In the Navy, a Plank Owner is someone who was part of a ship's crew when she was put into service — their name is tied to the vessel for good. Here, it's the people who keep the Veteran Social Club afloat month after month.
The ask is one number, and it never changes: $17.76 a month keeps a seat at the table for one veteran, every month. No tiers, no levels, no end date. You hold the line as long as you can, and your name stays on the wall.
Join The Roll — $17.76/moPlank Owners on the roll right now. Names appear exactly as each one chose to be listed.
Twelve months on the roll earns the plaque and a permanent line here. The first names are coming.
Every year after the first adds a hash mark beside your name. Year three, a second coin. Year five, your name on the physical plank.
Nobody here is ever "former." If a card lapses and life gets in the way, the name moves to this section — and moves right back when you do.
Same $17.76 every month. The gear tracks how long you've held the line.
Your name goes on the Plank Owner Wall, here and at every event where we hang it.

The Plank Owner challenge coin, with the inscription and the story card that goes with it.
One year on the plank. Your plaque, and your name moves to the One Year section of the wall.
A hash mark for every year after the first. Year three, a second coin. Year five, the physical plank.
1776 is the year the country we served was born. $17.76 is small enough that anyone can carry it and steady enough to keep the lights on — ice time, trail permits, the room for the Muster, the meal for the family who needed one.
It's not a campaign. It's a standing watch. Someone has to keep it, every month, for as long as it takes.
