May 2018 ADMIN OFFICER’S MESSAGE by Lt/C Peggy Ciolino, S

So far this year, we’ve been sharing time together at highly entertaining and educational events like the Change of Watch, Star Party and Spring Brunch. Now it’s time to get dirty!! Coming up on May 5, from 8:00AM to noon, we have an opportunity to give back, by helping to clean up the harbor in Harbor Clean Sweep. Please see the Commander’s message for more details if you are interested in volunteering.  Then, the following Saturday, May 12, lasting from 8:00AM to noon, you can bring all your old nautical “stuff” to the Squadron’s reserved spaces at the Nautical Swap Meet in the harbor parking lot. Free coffee and refreshments will be provided.  And finally, we have just gotten word that our flare shoot will be May 22, and will coincide with the “Harbor Watch” meeting at 6:00PM in the marine center classroom, where there will be a discussion of different types of flares. The flare shoot will follow at 6:30PM on the beach west of the Yacht Club. It’s your opportunity to get rid of your expired flares and learn from actually lighting and firing off these devices that we hope we never have to use. This is a true learning event — hope to see you there!
