We're asking for help in reaching out to USPS members to complete a brief survey on NOAA nautical charts and chart updates. It's a follow up to a 2008 survey, conducted in cooperation with NOAA, USPS, and OceanGrafix, which is NOAA's POD (print on demand) chart provider. Your participation would help a lot, and if you can forward this request to other ' boating active ' members of your squadrons who might not have received this e-blast it would help even more. Thank you for your help! Link to the survey and details about its purpose is here: (http://www.surveymonkey.com/s/7FVQKZP)
