It's the Vero Beach Power Squadron in action again. So there was an event. The photos are related to that evening. The Bridge (Commander, Bob McCurdy; Executive Officer William Heimbaugh; Educational Officer Dan Thomas; Admin Officer James Ward; Secretary Fran Desmone; and Treasurer Dottie Mancini) had the executive meeting prior to the general meeting.

There was a lot of information presented at the General Meeting, and those who attended got it all. All (The Bridge) presented at the appropriate time as called upon. Minutes were reviewed from the last meeting and each bridge officer called on his or her various sub committee team leads/agents to present additional data, as applicable. As usual it was a well-run affair and lots of data was disseminated. You had to be there to get it all but here is some of the information I recall.

1. Friday Night Social (FNS ) - James Ward said there are spots available for hosting FNS. He suggested members get together and double-team it. Sign up on the bulletin board to take the lead
2. Vessel Safety Checks -This is led by Jack Kruten and is progressing well. He is requesting more involvement from the members. I understand he needs more VSO, as the need will be greater in the upcoming months. Call Jack for details on how to get certified!
2. Membership - K. Thomas -We have a few new members and we want more. Current members are encouraged to invite friends and neighbors to FNS.
3. Coop Charting - H. Leh - It continues with the weekly lunches at Kelly's. Coop charting activity should be picking up in the next few weeks. There seems to be a hold up with data being submitted to NOAA.
4. Boat Cruise - There is one coming up soon. Lead on this action is Woody Boarman. A get together was held after the general meeting to discuss details as Woody was taking action to confirm reservations at the marina for vessels participating in the event.
5. Education - Howard Daniels -The next class is scheduled for October for the general Public
6. Education - There are sign up sheets on the board in the clubhouse for classes coming up for members. Other classes are being considered but will depend on the interest. The Seminar Series started this year is under review and could be offered in the next few months. The interest will dictate the schedule, so if you are interested contact Dan Thomas.
7. Boat Show - One is coming up. Glenn Rose will be coordinating and keep us posted.
8. Operations Training- Joe Leitz will be conducting a class in the near future. Sign up or get with Joe so he can schedule a time convenient for those interested.
9. Silent Auction - The VBPS plan to offer the Homeless Family Center (HFC) coupons for 2 for a Boaters Education Course. Consideration is being given to a day of fishing and a boat cruise. The auction is scheduled for November 17, 2008.
10. October Events - Shrimp Boil Dinner and Halloween Party.
There was more but that's all I can remember. The meeting was adjourned at the request of Jack Kruiten, and seconded by many.
