District Commander's Summer Report ... Robert Natoli, SN
Now that summer is gone, it is a perfect time to visit a USPS|America's Boating Club squadron near you. Each Club offerings many opportunities to learn more about boating, and to connect with fellow boaters - where friendships last a lifetime.
Still boating! In the Fall there are many popular destinations of scenic views of lighthouses, and beautiful shorelines. Even dockside dining is available, but check with your restaurant before you head out.
Wear your life jackets at all times to help protect you from temperature changes and on the off-chance you find yourself overboard in very cold Fall waters.
One last reminder..."now is a great time to check your local squadrons for classes and seminars. Many squadrons (Clubs) post their Fall/Winter Educational Classes (both in-person and virtual) now. All classes are designed to fit your schedule, life-style, plus, help you learn more about how safe boating is really fun boating.
Check for new seminars and classes today! Don't forget to check, our winter activities. Whether you have a boat, enjoy boating with friends, or prefer on-land events we've got the activities you'll love.
See you soon.
