| P/C Harold Hladky, JN The 2008 Commander of the Kalamazoo Sail & Power Squadron |
As I look at 12 inches of snow that fell on the first day of Spring, I am thinking about the upcoming
summer and the events we are working on for this our 60th year as a Power Squadron.
Along with sponsoring the District conference the last of October, we are looking at several
squadron events. Activities we are considering include a Commander’s Picnic in South Haven,
open to the public, with demonstrations of proper fire extinguisher usage and other boat safety
topics. We are looking at having a vessel safety inspection at the same time.
In May, we will have a panel discussion on cruising the North Channel presented by KSPS
members who have been there.
Other summer activities that should be put on your calendar are the Predicted Log contest. Even
if you do not participate as a contestant, there is a need for officials (you have to be able to read
a watch) or go along to help spot marker buoys or even just for the joy of being on a boat.
The first of August brings the Coast Guard Festival, help us show our appreciation of this fine
organization by attending or marching with other D/9 squadrons in the parade. We are planning
another Dingy Poker Run, probably in August.
Check this website often for current information and activities added or updated throughout the
boating and non-boating seasons.
As always we are looking for members to help support these activities by helping to organize
them and/or participate. It’s your organization! If there is some project you would like to see us
involved with, contact any bridge officer.
