Keep Our Hobby Alive            For Future Generations.            Dear Members of the Nautical Research Guild & Model Ship World, Our shared passion for model ships and maritime subjects has brought serious ship modeling hobbyists together in previously unimaginable ways as we have tried to keep our unique pastime viable and vibrant for you, the members of the NRG and our Model Ship World forum.   The NRG’s directors – along with other volunteers – have been working harder than ever to connect with you as well as keep you informed and focused on the future of model ship building. It’s been a privilege to engage many of you in online activity and to see so many new visitors to the NRG and MSW web sites; our broad resources are now more accessible than ever before with an expanded and improved internet presence.   To sustain as well as increase our ability to plan for the future, we need your help. Your support enables us to ensure we can continue to expand our offerings, such as online workshops, a scholarship program as well as more diverse modeling projects including new learning kits and even helpful, affordable tools and information resources just for ship modelers.   You may have noticed that your NRG has a new “Legacy Giving” page on our website. We offer suggestions for your estate planning, including specific guidance for the bequests as well as our important Tax I.D. number. Legacy giving is a timeless gift so you can keep our unique hobby alive for future generations. Please consider NRG in your estate plans.   It’s for all these reasons that we ask for your help right now.   Please give a gift to the NRG for 2024 so we can do more to support this hobby that you and other members enjoy. The NRG is a 501(c)3 not-for-profit educational association.
