Operations
All Operational members: remember to let Gabby, FSO-OP, know if you are going out of town for any length of time.
If you haven't been on patrol lately call a Coxswain and volunteer to crew on his patrol. Also remember to keep track of your requalifications, workshops, and other requirements.
Public Education
The next Boating Skills and Seamanship class will be held in early 2009. Contact Lee Waters, 697-9435, if you are interested. Click here for a schedule of future classes.
How about becoming an instructor? As our current roster of instructors retire or step back we need new people to take their places. Now is the time to begin. The instructor course is online, or if you need to obtain a hard copy, see John Cahow, FSO-MT.
