Our building...
Our building is located in the heart of downtown Moncks Corner directly behind city hall and the police department. The Moncks Corner Fire Department is also in the same area. This building serves as our central headquarters. From our boats to trucks, we also store the bulk of our equipment inside it. The building is also equipped with a full kitchen and dining area. Our second floor contains our meeting room as well as several additional rooms for storage. Behind our main building is a smaller one used for storing some of our smaller boats, diving equipment, 4-wheeler, and trailers.
This is not only where we meet but also where we store most of our equipment.
