Ahoy,
WoW, what a neat time we had in Charlotte. Challenges were all met, even the
many we don't expect when we plan for these events. Gotta be able to react on
your feet.
Carolyn, the tables was superb, attractive, well manned, sales went extremely
well, and it was an exciting place for all members of USPS to get needed info
and materials.
Open meeting holy cow, did we have some dancing to do. And for the members of
our committee that did not attend, WoW, you missed Jeanne's beautiful voice
singing "America the Beautiful" what a beautiful voice she has, the room was
mesmerized as I certainly was, this was one highlight I won't forget! Jeanne, a
big thank you to you and your TEAM.
To everyone that manned our tables, THANK YOU. This is important and FUN.
1st Timers, 37 registered, 25 attended the Thursday orientation session and 7
on Friday. In all at last count, 28 coupons for 1st Timers free gift at Ships
Store were turned in, this is neat. And FUN.
Sea Scout Partnership session after 1st Timers was a new venue and will
continue in Portland.
I want to thank Connie Johnson for taking the minutes. Susan Darcy for her
well planned and fun presentation, Jake Hill of McGriff, Seibels & Williams Inc.
Agents for St Paul Travelers Insurance Company, managers of the USPS BOAT
INSURANCE PROGRAM and the NEO, Spencer Anderson who addressed our members at the
meeting conveying his desire for a much closer TEAM relations between
Education and Membership. This will happen. Ted, great job on the "COP-Y" report ;-)
Saturday's meeting was an event that represented the committee very well
indeed. Lyle and the POO TEAM did a great job of presenting awards for Power of
One, hats and jackets. Pricilla and Roberta presented the MIRA winners their
plaques and trophies, all in all the committee was well represented. BTW, the
P/C/C Bill Selden, SN MIRA trophies are beautiful. The winning district and
squadron will surely be proud to display this gorgeous award. Thanks to Roberta and
Pricilla for the great idea of honoring one of our great pass chiefs in this
way, the family is quite proud, and should be........along with the winners.
And finally I want to thank the members who helped pinned a "USPS 4 YOU - I
Renewed" sticker on everyone before the members' lunch on Saturday. As we went
around the room in the reception area, before the doors opened, we went around
pinning a sticker and thanking the members for renewing their dues. They
really responded to this in a very nice way, they were quite pleased to be thanked
by their membership committee for renewing there dues, let's hope squadron
are doing the same thing. This was FUN :-)
Hope many of you can travel to Portland, Oregon to attend the fall meetings.
Don't forget the YOUTH POSTER CONTEST will take place at this meeting. Get
those posters to PORTLAND for judging........
Meanwhile, please have a safe, FUN filled summer of boating and other family
and friends events. Don't forget the sun block!
Once again, to all who helped make Charlotte FuN and Successful,
THANK YOU ;-)
Ahoy,
Bruce Troth, AP
