Notice to Members
Sunday, March 15th, 2009America’s Boating Course (New)
March 18, 2009 – America’s Boating Course Member Introduction - Please be advised that the date for the “Americas Boating Class” introduction has been changed to March 18, 2009. The introduction will be held in portable classroom 110 at the New Smyrna Beach Branch of the Daytona Beach College. This change is necessary as the college is on spring break March11th. The introduction will start at 7:00pm and end at 9:00pm. It is requested that all instructors and publication staff attend. If others are interested in attending to see what the new ABC class is like they are welcome and may leave when ever they desire. I spent a great deal of time looking over the Instructor Manual and the Student Manual as well as reviewing the CD that comes with the course and it is fantastic and will do a far better job of holding our students attention. Not only will we be able to teach the basics of boating, but we will be able to teach navigation in an optional two sessions. I believe you will find this presentation very interesting and it will give you the information you need to introduce friends, neighbors, and fellow boaters to the ABC program. Please email me if you need more information and/or if you plan to attend. See you there,
