It’s time to wash the Bee! - Throughout the year, our beloved Seabee who stands watch over NCBC on the
Parade Field (NCBC grinder), gets pretty dirty. In the name of good, clean fundraising, several people around base
and other local bases are nominated by their peers (and subordinates) to wash the Bee. This will happen June 10
from 10 - 11 a.m. on the grinder. Some lucky few (ok, everyone) will get a chance to rinse off the Bee (and the Bee
washers) for a small donation. All donations will go to benefit Navy and Marine Corps service members and their
families as part of the Navy-Marine Corps Relief Society (NMCRS) 2015 Active Duty Fund Drive. If your
nominee is on the list, you can contribute to keep them there. If not, nominate them. Everyone is welcome to make
a donation and a nomination. The lucky nominees as of 2:30 p.m., June 3 are:
