Posted flyers on
Al,
Posted flyers on the upcoming Nov 5 class at the following locations today 10/18/11.
IRC Chamber Breakfast Meeting, Majestic Bowling Alley, Longevity Max, Downtown Main Street Office, Treasure and Space Coast Radio, IRC Administrative Tax Office Lobby, Marina Captains Lounge, Marina Dock Bulletins Board, Vero Marine Center (Grady Bunch) and left extras copies at the VBPS for members to take.
Majestic Bowling wants to trade advertising spots/space. Spoke with the GM and the Marketing person who will be sending me an email. I suggested/thought we could put them (Majestic Bowling) in the Nautical News in exchange for them putting our flyers on the counter at the bowling alley anytime we held a class. The Marketing gal will send me an email with her desires/plan and I will keep you in the loop.
When I stopped at the radio station I got a business card for Brittany M. Hinger, Marketing & Promotions Director, Treasure and Space Coast Radio. I will send her an email and see where it leads. They may do an announcement on the air. Not sure until I email her.
It has been posted to TC Palm at http://www.tcpalm.com/news/2011/oct/14/boating-class-has-schedule-change-to-nov-5-16864/

Dear Ms. Hinger,
I stopped by the station last week and left a flyer about an upcoming boating class -America’s Boating Course. This will be held on November 5, 2011 (9 am start time) at the Vero Beach Power Squadron (VBPS). I hope you can get a plug in about the class on the air.
I would like to speak about VBPS with you and see what we can do to get us out on the air when we schedule courses for the public here in Vero. We are a non-profit boating organization. Our goal is to provide safe boating education to the public and our members.
We have a blog and a website. We are on Facebook and Twitter. Here are a few links.
I look forward to speaking with you.
Regards,

I was wondering if you could pass on the info below to the appropriate FL squadrons in your District (15, 22 and 8).The FWC has a great web page which advertises, among other events, basic boating courses that are being offered statewide. (I suspect that this site is used by violators who are court mandated to take the course). It appears that this opportunity could be better utilized: While there are approximately 33 squadrons in FL (includes D23, which is mine) only 13 squadrons have posted 28 courses, Pensacola leading the pack with 7 courses. To take advantage of this free publicity, go toand look for the titles ABC boating Safety or About Boating Safety.First you will have to register; after receiving the FWC confirmation, send your request to list your course to Edward Cates atedward.cates@myfwc.com with the following info:Course Title (from web site): ABC About Boating SafetySquadron Name If the squadron name does not describe the location, then list the nearest city (we used Melbourne for Banana River)Date: Time:Place: Name of facility________________________Boating Course: ABC3 8-hour with on-the-water boat handling instructionOnline registration allowed Your web siteCost $Contact _________________Telephone _____________Contact e-mail _____________________Regards,
