WINTER MEETINGS and EVENTS

AHOY THERE….AHOY THERE!!! It’s time for our “annual meeting” once again which will be held on February 12th at 1400. As in past years, you’re invited to bring your “valentine” and join us for a late lunch/early dinner at the Fisherman’s Grotto in sunny Charleston. There will be two very important items of business to take care of so we would like to see as many folks at the meeting as possible. We need to vote in our bridge for this next year and I will be making a very special presentation to P/C Art Schuldt, SN for his many years of dedication to the Coos Bay Power Squadron.
We also just finished another America’s Boating Class with six out of six passing the final exam! You recent graduates are also invited to join us at the meeting. Looking forward to seeing many of you there! Remember we’re a team….that’s Together Everyone Accomplishes More!!!
