TRSPS Social Functions

While the main objective of the Tar River Sail and Power Squadron and the United States Power Squadrons^â is to promote safe boating through community education, a result of that community involvement is increased social activities, new friendships and great fun on and off the water. While helping members increase their boating skills, TRSPS activities encourage civic contributions through social activism and voluntary efforts. The direct result is a squadron of members who delight in gathering on and off the water for social activities and great fun. It's not surprising ours is a rapidly growing squadron!

The six major Tar River Sail and Power Squadron social events during the year are:

Change of Watch (February)	Installation of new officers and committee chairmen
Spring Social	On the water picnic and social for family and friends
Summer Cruise & Rendezvous	Summer boating raft up, locations vary
August 'Summer Riverfest'	Landlubbers social and annual fund raiser
Fall Social	On the water picnic and social for family and friends
Christmas Party	Landlubbers fun, fellowship, and holiday festivities

Regular Tar River Sail and Power Squadron meeting and program are held each month except July. Typically, these dinner meetings are held the second Wednesday at various restaurants in Greenville, NC. Each month's location is announced on line and in the "Tar Paper". Members are encouraged to bring guests if they wish. Attire is informal at all meetings except the annual TRSPS Change of Watch. This is a formal dinner meeting, which ends the watch of one bridge (squadron officers and committee chairmen) and starts the next. A cocktail party that gives members a chance to catch up with each other after the winter precedes it. The uniform for this meeting is Uniform A with bow tie or equally suitable civilian attire. Formal invitations are sent to all members and guests and the meal must be prepaid.
