[Amoskeag] FW: Safe Boating Week Open House

[Dan Gingras]

Dear friends and fellow boaters...

    We are extremely pleased with the interest of non-profit groups which
have agreed to participate in the "first annual" Open House Kickoff for
National Safe Boating Week in Portland, Maine on Saturday May 17th.

    The exhibit tables will be set up along the water-side of the fence
beside the walkway in front of Portland Yacht Services at 9:30 AM. You can
set up your display then and we will be open for education from 10 AM to 2
PM.  The Shackle and the Portland Fireboat will be tied to the dock in front
of the displays, and the flare and fire demonstrations will take place in
the immediate area - as safety allows.  PYS will have a BBQ going so your
volunteers and guests will get a free lunch. Water, canned pop and snacks
will be on sale for $1.00.    

    We would ask that you help us publicize this event by e-mailing the
attached news release to all your staff and members.  Encourage them to come
and bring the whole family.  There will be tours of the two vessels and lots
of interesting events and displays.

    Doug Scott will be the On-Site Point of Contact and will be directing
the activities of the volunteers. See him if you have any questions or calll
222-2317.

 

Fred Rice, Commander

Portland Head Sail and Power Squadron
