We have received a really great message from Richard Dean Anderson that he has asked us to pass on to you.
We are also pleased to announce that every Homecoming attendee will now be getting yet another unique extra goodie as thanks for supporting the event. Richard and Capt Paul Watson have very kindly agreed to individually sign a Welcome to the Homecoming card that you will find in your welcome pack at registration.
Meanwhile, here is the message from Richard:
"Well, it's that time of the decade again! Time to gather, once again.....time to gather together to renew acquaintances old and new.
From my end of things, I can safely say I'll be doing both! With that in mind, a dear friend, wisely suggested that perhaps it would be a timely gesture to repeat our last gathering of loyal friends, fans and family in Vancouver for an event that was unflatteringly titled: 'Meet the Man'.
Therefore, my invitation goes out to any (and all) of you who can remember that last gathering, and would like to repeat the opportunity to join me and my very special guests at the upcoming 'Homecoming' event.
The message I bring is slathered with goodness, heavily primed with anticipation....ultimately I am thoroughly loving the thought of our coming 'party'. I want to make sure everyone knows that you are ALL invited to share in the festivities and celebrate the cause that has become an integral part of my socio-political life. This is about awareness, if nothing else. We want people to educate themselves to what Sea Shepherd does and to get involved in any way they can. Whether it’s donating money, buying merchandise, attending events or mouthing off to your politicians to do something about marine life conservation.
I'm hoping, as well, to find the opportunity to thank EVERYONE for their attendance, involvement, generosity, and ultimately the relationships you have all established with Sea Shepherd, Captain Paul Watson , Paul Brown and myself....by simply coming to The 'Homecoming' being organised by Gatecon and Legends in Vancouver, Canada, September 8th-12th, 2016.
Come and see what all the commotion is about...please do. I'm going, I already have my ticket!!
Richard"
