Mattapoisett & Taunton River on the Honor Roll
Members on the Honor Roll - Robert Bach, Arthur Kimber, Dorothy Lewis, Edward Lewis and John Murphy.
District 14 stands in the 13thplace – NOT on the Honor Roll!! District 14 has had reports last period only from Cape cod, Buzzards Bay, Mattapoisett and Taunton. It appears that half of the Squadrons do not have an active CoCh program! Please think about CoCh as you are involved in getting your new Bridge ready. I would REALLY like at least one report from each Squadron to get D14 on the HR this period. New Commanders – look forward to some attention from me! If you are having trouble on or with your computer making reports, remember that if you do the required legwork, I will give you help to get the report approved, but - will not do the legwork for you. Best to make a paper copy for me to help with. See my CoCh letter of 8/23/2007 for a better explanation.
I have revised the Facility Report listing for Chart 13229 (to rev. 5) to incorporate the sites on the “Reported List - When” to help your plans for facility reports.
Remember – facilities can be reported only once a year – so – check last time reported to save work. If a facility was not on the reported list for a year, it should be reportable now. Facility reports & Chart corrections seem to be the easiest way to get CoCh points now. If your area has had dredging completed, and you can get a final report from the harbormaster or other authorities, that makes a good report. The D 14 website has a CoCh section with comprehensive instruction lists. http://www.usps.org/localusps/d14/
