Centennial Voyage of the
Ensigns
2013 marks United States Power Squadrons’ 100th
year of civic service, education, and fellowship. To celebrate 100 years of USPS, a 12-by-18 commemorative 100th
anniversary ensign was designed and is available from the Ship’s Store at www.shopusps.org
or by calling 888-367-8777 x 0. Members are encouraged to fly their commemorative
ensigns proudly and then retire them to a place of honor in remembrance of our
100th anniversary.
To recognize our 100 years of service, a special 100th
anniversary ensign will be presented to each district at the 2013 USPS Annual
Meeting in Jacksonville, 17-20 Jan. The district commanders will proceed from the
Annual Meeting with their district’s ensign.
Squadrons are asked to design streamers to attach to these
special ensigns. Ordering information
is available on the 100th anniversary website: www.usps.org/100 under downloads. Districts are encouraged to hold ceremonies
throughout their area at which squadrons will attach their streamers to the
district ensign.
Then, to open the 2014 Annual Meeting in Jacksonville, 30
Jan. –2 Feb., each district commander will return his or her district’s ensign
displaying the streamers of all the squadrons in the district. After the meeting, the ensigns will return
to the districts for display and in remembrance of our first 100 years.
The special ensigns will be shipped to Jacksonville in
individual boxes and will include a stand, a pole, finial, and attachment ring
for the streamers.
Districts are responsible for returning their decorated ensigns
to the 2014 Annual Meeting. At the close of the meeting, districts are again
responsible for taking their ensigns home.
Special shipping arrangements will be available at the
hotel.
100 years of USPS–let’s celebrate!
