Boat Safety for the Young.

Beverly Jones has conducted this Vero Beach Power Squadron program for 3 years and she has done it very well.

This is Glendale School "After School Program." There were 60 children present. Children are divided by age groups: 6-8; 9-11; 12-14.

They were getting educated on the proper use of a PFD and also a few pointers on how to throw a ring to pull a person to safety. After they get introduced to all this the fun part comes into play.

The VBPS also has as part of this program a Poster Contest. The kids get to do what they want and draw and color something about what they learned. These pieces of art are then entered into the contest and winners are choosen.

I understand that a few get a finacial reward.
