Mobile on Thursday, 1930. Due to ever

The December Party was a huge success. If you have pictures, please forward them to

Ken MacRae
I have the 2002 Boat Safety Check Decals and
will give them out at the meeting. If a
currently qualified VE cannot attend I will make arrangements to get Decals to
them. We will have a Seminar (a short one) soon to go over the program.
Every Auxiliarist who has a useable boat should also have a boat check of
one of three kinds before May of this year.
The three kinds of acceptable checks are: A regular Boat Safety Check such as we give to the public. Or a
Facility Inspection and offer of use, or a Facility Inspection and not offered
for use. After all if we are promoting
boating safety we should at least show that we keep our own boats safety
equipped.
The Boat Ramp Saturdays for 2002 will be on the last Saturday of each
month from February through October unless problems occur.

Word from the offices of Rear Admiral Cross is
that this is fantastic work and that the Admiral appreciates not only the
tremendous effort but also the dedication to capture this data and would like
this data capture to continue. This
data is helping the Coast Guard to lobby for funds to support the Auxiliary
program.
