Lt/C Robert W. Kelly, APAs this goes to press the Seamanship class is going strong. We will have a final follow-up session on May 15th and schedule the tests for later in the month. All students are doing really well.
I would like to say what a good weekend the D-28 Inland Rendezvous was. Fun and fellowship was had by all both on Friday evening at the social hour and again on Saturday evening's BBQ, not counting the whole day Saturday on the water. A big thanks needs to go to Sharon Weller for her work in planning the event with the folks from Phoenix.
Please don't forget Safe Boating Week this month.

Lt/C Mike AccardoOur Boating Safety course format of two four hour Saturday sessions has again proved to be effective in imparting knowledge and objectives to new students as evidenced by the high passing rate last year and this year. Thank you to John Militello for urging us to try this format and move away from an eight week, 1 hour a week schedule. What works for the students is pre-registering and receiving the course material preferably at least 2 weeks prior to the first session. They come to the first session having read Chapters 1 and 2 and completing the review exercises. This prepares the students to orally present learned objectives during a Power Point presentation. This is followed by a two week study period for chapters three and four. The second session mirrors the first session and includes an exam, distribution of certificates, and a celebration dessert where some power squadron members drop by to say hello.
This spring there were 15 registered students. Six students cancelled, postponing classes until the fall session due to personal reasons. The nine students who passed and received their certificates are now Trial Members of the Lake Mohave Sail and Power Squadron. Special congratulations to two of our youngest students, 13 year old Blaise Militello and 14 year old Brendon Kutz…

The April General Meeting was held on Wednesday, April 22, 2012 at the El Rio Restaurant. There was a great turn out for this meeting and we welcomed guests, Justin and Denise Moore. Even though Justine and Denise did not renew their membership, a national effort is in place to try to keep ex members involved in Squadron events, hoping they will renew their membership. El Rio continues to provide excellent service and good food for our meetings and we are looking at once again using this location as a regular meeting place....
Upcoming Events
