The luncheon takes place at from 11 a.m. to 2 p.m. at the Paducah-Mc-Cracken County Convention & Expo Center, 415 Park St., Paducah, Ky. Tickets are available by emailing riv-erbell@seamenschurch.org or calling 212-401-4072. The Rev. Mark Nestlehutt, SCI's president and executive director, noted that the organizations commitment to mariners in the inland marine industry dates back to the mid-1990s, when SCI introduced advanced simulator training for inland and offshore mariners at its facilities in Paducah and in Houston, Texas. SCI also provides chaplains that serve as first responders for crises and ongoing mariner support. |
