National Marina Day

Attention USPS Members: 

Take part in this year’s National Marina Day activities with a neighboring marina by demonstrating the best your squadron has to offer at this one-day-only event on 8 August.  USPS is joining forces with the Association of Marina Industries (AMI) and encourages local squadrons to offer your resources to make their local marina event an even greater one with your squadron’s support.  Suggest vessel safety checks, boating seminars, safety exhibits, skills demonstrations, an introduction to Boat Operator Certification and America’s Boating Course, Third Edition, and whatever else you feel comfortable promoting.  Remember, too, of importance to all our nation’s marinas, U.S. Power Squadrons supports the U.S. Coast Guard’s homeland security campaign, “America’s Waterway Watch,” and also offers our own “America’s Waterway Awareness” program.  If your local marina hasn’t contacted you yet, feel free to touch base with them about designing a blockbuster program.  For more information about National Marina Day, check out the following website, www.marinaassociation.org/nmd/
