EMAIL A PICTURE OF YOUR BOAT TO THE SQUADRON WEBMASTER FOR THE "MEMBERS' BOATS" PAGE

An introduction from Squadron Commander Bowen, JN

Commander BowenHave you noticed that the days are a little longer and not quite as cold? Are you thinking about washing the mildew and mold off your boat? Have you checked to see if your batteries still are charged? It can only mean one thing—boating season is right around the corner. Thank heavens you took those courses you wanted to take in the winter to make you have more fun this season by being safer and better educated. There still is time if you have procrastinated. Take a look at the website’s new course sign up feature. Go to the website, click on Education on the left border, look at the class offerings you want, then click on the sign up process in the box in red at the top. Enter the course and your personal info, pass the really tough math question which is to protect our security, then click to register. That’s it!! You’ll be contacted by your instructor. Now how easy is that? Let’s all thank Mike Clark for the suggestion and our intrepid Webmaster, Dave Good, for developing, installing, and maintaining this nifty tool. Now the work starts for all our wonderful instructors. By now, you know our December General Meeting and Holiday Party was a smashing success where we had a wonderful dinner, laughed the night away, and raised $4,500 through our auction. We’ll need that to help us be the host squadron for the District 16 Spring Conference in Ocean Shores on March 30-31 where our SEO, Travis Smith, will be installed as the District Commander. Way to go, Travis. Finally, don’t forget our March dinner meeting where we will have a first-of-its-kind witty tutorial on how to participate in the Predicted Log Event in June, dedicated to Past Commander Fred Hoeppner, who passed away last fall. We can think of no better tribute to Fred. Finally, please put April 5 on your calendars for our FHPS Change of Watch. You’ll be treated to a lovely dinner and experience a chance to join your squadron leaders in this most special event.
