I'll volunteer my time the same way that The SBONH did.

Rusty of New Hampshire is urging boaters everywhere to remember a key component of getting your boat ready for the upcoming boating season. Get a FREE Vessel Safety Check!
This week is National Safe Boating week, the week set aside to highlight the safety equipment on your boat as you get it ready for the summer season.
Make the Vessel Safety Check offered by the Lakes Region Sail and Power Squadron part of your preparation!
The trained members of the Lakes Region Sail and Power Squadron will go over the safety equipment on your boat with you, pointing out things that you might not have thought of that could be problematic if an emergency arises.
The Vessel Safety Check takes about a half hour depending on the size of your boat, but it is a half hour that could save you from grief later in the season.
For your FREE Vessel Safety Check contact the Lakes Region Sail and Power Squadron through their website,
http://www.LRSPS.org or email a Vessel Examiner at
vsc@lrsps.org.
If your boat is not in the Lakes Region yet but you would still like a Vessel Safety Check you can locate a nearby Vessel Examiner with either the Power Squadron or Coast Guard Auxiliary at

National Safe Boating week has its roots here in New England . It was first established in June of 1952 when a Coast Guard Auxiliary flotilla in Amesbury , Massachusetts launched it as a way to offer free checks of safety equipment to boaters. In 1958, President Dwight D. Eisenhower signed a resolution declaring the first National Safe Boating Week.
Join Rusty of New Hampshire and get a Vessel Safety Check. It could be the most important time you spend on your boat this year.
