National Marina Day: 11 August 2007

August 11th has been designated as National Marina Day by the Association of Marina Industries. This event will provide the Auxiliary with a great opportunity to develop and/or strengthen our Recreational Boating Safety and Security partnerships. A Team approach is suggested, utilizing our RBS specialists (PE, PV & VE) and supported by a public affairs member to maximize the delivery of our RBS message. The Team could establish a menu of services for that day: VSC station, PE workshops (GPS, life jacket selection/fitting, AWW, etc.), and/or a boating safety exhibit.
