Ed Carne gave a PCOC class in Strathmore March 20th. There were five students and all passed. Chris Groundwater completed instruction and Steve proctored the exam for his Seamanship Class on March 24. A two day Marine First Aide Course organized by Blue Water Cruisers was attended by Lawrence & Joyce Head and Dan & Cheyenne Zdralek on March 27th & 28th. All passed.

Our first experience with holding classes at DeVry Institute was a great success. We did have some rough patches with the first class that started a half hour late as it took that long for all the students and instructors to get together in the same class room. We hope we can continue using this facility as the class rooms are perfect with all the technical facilities we need, lots of free parking and easy access.

Fair winds,

Dan

The knowledge students receive come from volunteer instructors whose dedication to the mission of CPS is unwavering. Volunteer instructors work hard to prepare and present these courses but, at times, there aren't enough instructors to fill the need. Your Squadron's continued existence depends on the strength of the training program and at this time, your Squadron needs your help! Please consider contributing your knowledge and experience to give your Squadron the bench strength it needs.

Course fee includes a one year membership for students successfully completing exams as follows:
