Recent Squadron Library Donations We are in the process of cataloging and marking several additional books for the squad-ron library. Perhaps you’d be interested in checking one out. The titles are as follows:
1) Encyclopedia of Sailing (One Design & Offshore Yachtsman) 2) Diesel – Fundamentals, Service, Repair (Bill Tolboldt) 3) A Cruising Guide to the Tennessee River, Tom Waterway, and
Lower Tombigbee River (Thomas & Rumsey) 4) The Finely Fitted Yacht – The Boat Improvement Manual (Ferenc Mate)
5) Trent-Severn Waterway – Boating & Road Guide ( The historic route between Lake Ontario and Georgian Bay)
a year-long celebration of the USPS 100th Anniversary.
Each squadron will create unique ribbon streamers to
affix to their district’s ensign. During the 2014 Annual
meeting, districts will parade their ensigns and stream-
ers in an anniversary flag presentation.
All members are encouraged to help plan year long
celebrations in their communities, including municipal
proclamations, appearances at civic and marine organiza-
tion meetings, and presentations during 19–25 May
National Safe Boating Week, a golden opportunity to
begin and to let your community know that your
squadron is a valuable resource.
Let’s share our pride and commitment to boating safety
and education with community celebrations. It is a great
time to be a squadron member! And, our squadron char-
tered 20 November 1944 will have 68 years of service in
November of this year.
If you didn’t attend the USPS Conference in Detroit, you
missed a lot of exciting events that took place near the
General Motors Renaissance Center headquarters on
the Detroit River were the conference was held. Detroit
played a very important key role in the War of 1812 and
this celebration, supported by GM, was to thank the
many military men and women for their service in the
war. Free public tours of four Navy and U.S. Coast Guard
ships were available; including the S Brig Niagara tall
ship (replica of the original) played a decisive role in the
Battle of Lake Erie and was the closest to the Renais-
sance Center where we stayed. The day the ship left port,
they set off one of their cannons—what a sound! Friday
was enjoyable, lunched on the waterfront and listened to
the Marine & Navy bands playing in front of our hotel.
One of many discussions held at the conference was
the planning of USPS 100th year celebration. USPS will
mark 100 years of education, fellowship and community
service in 2014. Based on the powerboat handling skills
programs of businessman Roger Upton at the Boston
Yacht Club in Marblehead, Massachusetts, USPS now
offers boating education programs in cities and towns
across the U.S., its territories and Japan. The organiza-
tion has become an important ally of the U.S. Coast
Guard, the Department of Homeland Security, the
Department of Commerce and the National Oceanic and
Atmospheric Administration. Today, nearly 40,000 mem-
bers in more than 400 squadrons provide boating educa-
tion in everything from seamanship and celestial naviga-
tion to marine electronics and engine maintenance.
USPS Flag and Etiquette
Committee has designed an
anniversary ensign to be flown
on members’ vessels in 2013 and
2014. The Ship’s Store is adding
100th anniversary logo items, an
anniversary commemorative
stamp is under discussion and
community activities are being planned at all levels.
To kick-off the yearlong ceremony, anniversary ensigns
will be presented to all 32 districts at the 2013 Annual
Meeting in Jacksonville, which will mark the beginning of

LAST CALL FOR ROSTER
and/or DATABASE CORRECTIONS
We are now well launched into a new Bridge officer, member course, and social event year (2012-2013)! In the final analysis, only you can be the last (and best) proof checker of your membership data! Please take a few minutes to check the CURRENT data for yourself that is in the USPS (National) database. You can access it at: http://www.usps.org/cgi-bin-nat/tools/myprofile.cgi . You may need to “log in” with your membership number and “PIN”. The latter may be found on your member-ship renewal paperwork. If you find corrections that need to be made to your address, ZIP+4 code, phone number, Email address, boat Name, type, length, and home port (plus MMSI and/or SKYPE number if appropriate), please send an Email note to: [email protected] and we’ll try to get it corrected before the next mailing. Also, we’ll electronically notify National so that their future communications will reach you in the most direct manner. Thanks and have a Great Boating Year!
