Boating Safety certification course
June 28 @ 9:00 am - 3:00 pm
The Water Wonderland Chapter is hosting the US Coast Guard Auxiliary to provide training and certification for safe boating. This is ideal for any of our members, and especially important for those traveling to International this fall as this certification meets the requirements for boating on the New York waterways. (Yes, we’ve confirmed with ACBS that this class and certification meets the requirements.) We will meet at 814 West River Center for the day (a comfortable meeting facility operated by the Kent District Library.) At noon, we’ll run out and get some party subs from Subway. This educational training event and lunch is free to our membership, but we need an accurate headcount five days prior to the training on June 23. To hold your spot in this class, contact our impromptu Safety Coordinator, Peter Cross, at seaweedpcc@sbcglobal.net or by phone at 616-690-1290. Don’t delay; we currently have ten people planning to attend but are getting lots of inquiries and are happy to accommodate a lot more, we just need to know if you’re planning to attend. If you are seeking overnight accommodations so as to take in Grand Rapids and West Michigan for the weekend, I’d recommend a quick Google search for (Comfort Inn, Comstock Park) as this hotel is two minutes away from parking lot to parking lot.
