District 4 News


Message from the Commander
January 2024

 

As we navigate through the seas of life, it is time to drop anchor and reflect on the year gone by. As your humble commander, I want to extend my sincere hope that, however you celebrated these recent holidays, you had a joyous season filled with happiness, joy, and the company of your loved ones. May this year bring peace, good health, and even more happiness to all of you.

Our boating adventures were nothing short of spectacular this past year, and it warmed my heart to see the camaraderie and enthusiasm within our tight-knit family of boaters. Whether we sailed through calm waters or weathered the storms of life together, each moment strengthened the bonds that make us a resilient and remarkable boating family.

At this time of new beginnings, let us take a moment to contemplate the beauty of the open sea, the serenity of a sunset cruise, and the thrill of the wind in our sails. May your lives be as bright as a lighthouse beacon and as peaceful as a quiet cove.

As we toast the past year and eagerly anticipate the adventures that lie ahead, let us also spare a thought for those who are less fortunate. Consider offering a helping hand to those in need and extend the spirit of giving that marked the recent magical season.

Our United States Power Squadrons boating group is more than just a collection of vessels; it is a community of like-minded, caring individuals bound together by a shared love for the open water. I am grateful to have each of you as a part of our District 4 seafaring family.

May your lives be filled with laughter, warmth, and the gentle rocking of the waves. Here is to fair winds, smooth seas, and a new year brimming with exciting voyages and adventures.

Wishing you all a happy, successful, and healthful 2024.
