TACOMA - Dec. 3, 2007 – When those tall ships appear on the horizon, you can take pride in knowing it was your support that summoned them to Tacoma.
The Tacoma Tall Ships® Organization, or TTSO, officially launched its membership program today. TTSO, the non-profit group charged with organizing the Tall Ships® Tacoma 2008 festival, is looking for members to not only help support next year’s event but to ensure Tacoma can continue to host maritime events in the future.
“The TTSO Membership Program is a great way for the people of Tacoma to show their pride in Tacoma’s rich maritime history,” said Michelle Merritt, director of Sales for Tall Ships® Tacoma.
In addition to supporting the event, members will receive a 10 percent discount on Tall Ships® merchandise and will be able to purchase a limited amount of tickets before they are offered to the public. “Tickets for Tall Ships® are limited so advance ticket sales are a great benefit for members,” Merritt said.
Memberships are available in a variety of levels and are valid for 12 months.

More than 30 historic sailing vessels are expected to attend the event along the Thea Foss Waterway. Tickets to board the vessels or sail on an excursion will go on sale in early 2008.
