certifications to our members. This is always a rewarding experience for me as recognizing the hard

I know based on the staff officer reports presented at our March meeting that everyone is
working hard planning events for later this spring and summer with a strong emphasis on promoting
safe boating.
We are also working hard to improve our relationship with DNR. Joe Livingston and I met
with Lt. Tim Baxley on February 25th and he is very anxious to have us assist wherever we can in
promoting safe boating. We will be cooperating with DNR on their complimentary vessel checks
held normally on busy holiday weekends and will notify their dispatcher whenever we are on patrol
so that we can assist them as needed in SARs and assisting boaters in trouble. He also hopes to have a
meeting with our principals at the end of turkey season so that we can better work together on Lake
Marion.
We had two prospective new members at our March meeting and I encourage each of you to
always promote membership in the auxiliary whenever you can. Excellent opportunities abound in
your everyday lives and also as you perform VSC, present material to civic clubs and tell your friends
of the enjoyment you get from participating in the auxiliary. We need to continue to grow in both
membership and skills and the best way to accomplish this is to increase the size of our flotilla with
committed, qualified members.
Again, thanks for all your hard work over the winter and I for one look forward to warm
weather and seeing each of you in flotilla activities.
