A Memorial

We rejoice in the difference

SAFE BOATING MANUAL -
FOR ALL DISTRICTS
At
the
Oakland California Regional Meeting,
the IOBG Auxiliary was
authorized to purchase a safe-boating manual to be sent free
of charge to each IOBG District Director. The book is now
available and will be shipped to me the beginning of next
week. I, in turn, will be shipping it to all district
directors. Water safety for children (and adults) will not
happen if the book remains tucked away in a closet, so
please make sure you show your free copy to your chapters.
The Auxiliary and districts with whom I spoke regarding this
new book/and game CD are excited, and have asked for details
regarding individual ordering for children and
grandchildren. The Student Handbook, "Water Smart-From
the Start" is available for $5 a copy, plus shipping and
handling directly from the Power Squadron. Shipping and
handling charges are based upon the number of books
ordered. One can go directly to the Power Squadron Website
(USPS.org),
then to Ship's Store, and then books. The order # is
01-39-07. You may also call the Power Squadron directly at
1-888-367-8777, extension 0.
Again, the IOBGA is excited about
being able to present this book to your districts. If you
have any questions, please do not hesitate to contact me at
richardjaniszewski@msn.com
Again, my thanks to Dave Meshulam, District 20, for letting
us know about the availability of this wonderful "teaching
tool" and for his assistance to me with the ordering
process.

During this year, the IOBGA
Operations Manual will be updated. P/P Carol Foote, P/P Shirley Willing, and
myself will be working on this. Please let us know if there is anything you feel
needs to be added and/or deleted, or if you have suggestions regarding this
revision. Hopefully, we will have the new version on line before the next annual
meeting in
Seattle. Also, we
will be looking at the By-Laws. Again, any suggestions, comments, will be
appreciated.
Best regards,
Pat Janiszewski
President IOBGA 2008
