Welcome to Member Information
Celebrating our 40th Anniversary in 2009!
Flotilla Commander
Jeff Blomgren
14-8 continues to set benchmarks. The National Auxiliary magazine, Navigator, recognized the hard work of one of our members by publishing information about the safety video produced by Rusty Gardner. We are fortunate to have Rusty on board. In fact we are fortunate to have the membership we have with all the skills and abilities that make a flotilla successful. With the addition of Charles Trippe as Vice Flotilla Commander, we have taken one more step to becoming a more efficient and effective unit.
.
Others worthy of mention is the work of John Russette as PV and PA and his plan for education and development of the PV training and implementation program,Sarah Tamargo for her willingness to tackle the newsletter, Merrill Varn for her work on getting a Clean Marina program information session coordinated, Charles Smith for his excellent work in recruiting new members with four new members being sworn in already in 2009, and Paul Burns for his excellent work on the website.
.
As we take advantage of the skills and talents of our volunteers we have to remember to keep growing and learning as individuals. A good example is the APC. I am encouraging every member who has not taken and passed the APC to do so in 2009. In addition, I would like to challenge you all to take the ISC 100 and 700 I 2009 and become qualified to become an elected officer in the future. We exist as volunteers to make the boating world a better and safer place and to use the interests, skills and abilities to make ourselves the best at what we do.
