Custom Boat Shoes - 100 Year

Yes. Will be in and out but will have my cell phone with me (772-453-4966). Note: United States Power Squadron will be 100 Years Old Feb. 2014. Thus we are in the process of coming up with many ideas about how to celebrate and things of that  nature.

Details here........http://www.usps.org/100/

My idea is to have the 100 Year logo (as shown)  embedded in the leather top of a boat shoe. They say that USPS has over 40,000 members. I have no idea how many would consider buying your shoe, as there are too many variables to consider. 

I propose you make a few samples, in different sizes and colors, and donate them to the District 8 Executive Committee so that they might auction them off at the next Fall Conference. That would generate interest. 

Also provide a proposal for some quantity with prices and think about joining us at the National Conference in Jacksonville, Fl.29 January-2 February 2014 Annual Meeting Hyatt Regency Jacksonville, FL with shoes in hand ready to sell or maybe set up a booth at the USPS Expo and take orders.

Another alternative is to establish a great price for the boat show and we could advertise it in our Ensign magazine as a Memeber Benefit and also post it on our the national website under "Member Benefits". There are definite benefits to both of us if the "Price Is Right".

Regards,

Bob Scully

Safe Boating Week - Heard on the water

Safe Boating Week - Heard on the water

District 8 is getting charged up about the Safe Boating Week coming up in May. What’s a safe boating week? It is nationally recognized as the week to promote safer boating.  This year it falls on May 18 - May 24, 2013.

What’s a District 8? There are 15 boating squadrons (United States Power Squadrons) in district 8 from Sebastian to Key West, Florida. Information about this district can be found at http://www.uspsd8.org/. All of the groups within the district will be putting on special events to help promote this week. If you would like to share in these events contact the squadron of your choice.

The Vero Beach Power Squadron (VBPS) plans to hold boating classes and seminars at the VBPS facility, which is next to the Barber Bridge (301 Acacia Road). According to a reliable source VBPS will be in the” Wear It” campaign (http://www.safeboatingcampaign.com/) as well.

An unverified rumor suggests that some of the 392 members of the squadron may walk the Barber Bridge wearing/holding PFDs sometime during the cooler part of the day. Check out the VBPS new website www.verobeachpowersquadron.com or stop in on any Friday night during the social hour (5:30-7:30).

 

What is NSBC (http://www.safeboatingcouncil.org/)? The National Safe Boating Council, Inc. (NSBC) was organized in September 1958 under the name National Safe Boating Committee. The NSBC presently has a membership of over 330 U.S. and Canadian organizations, all with an interest in boating safety and education. The NSBC membership is diverse, with approximately 65% of the membership being nonprofit organizations and 35% being for-profit organizations. Mission Statement -The NSBC’s mission is to be the foremost coalition to advance and promote a safer recreational boating experience through education, outreach and training.

What is United States Power Sqauadron (USPS)? If you are looking for boating classes, or a complete boating education, you've come to the right place. If you are looking for a Maritime Mobile Service Identity, you've come to the right place. If you are looking for someone to perform a free vessel safety check on your boat, you've come to the right place. If you would like to have some real fun boating, join the 40,000 members of USPS and help spread the word. (http://www.usps.org/)?
