The Squadron Boating Class - 8 weeks
Attendance was down at our classes this past year so we really need to get the word out to the boating community.  The next class startes on Monday 5 January, 2009 so talk it up with your boating friends who haven't taken a class or who want to learn more.  As always, it is the individual assistance that Squadron Members provide to the students in these courses which impacts their motivation to join the squadron and continue their education, participate in rendezvous, and assist us in continuation of our community service.  All members are welcome and encouraged to assist the education department on Monday evenings at GPNHS.  Please refer to the squadron calendar for specific dates. 

Our next Boating Course will be a Boat Smart Class beginning on Monday 19 May 2008 at GP Farms Pier Park.  Come on up and help with registration and welcome the class.
