December Meeting Highlights
Post by FSO-PB Jonathan James
FC John Poulson, thank you sir for your outstanding dedication and hard work to this flotilla and your shipmates. You pulled us through some confused seas the last couple of years and the flotilla is stronger then ever and thriving because of your leadership.
Last Wednesday was your last meeting as Flotilla Commander and probably the quickest of all the meetings in which you were the Chair. Was this you, ready to give up the Gavel, or was it because you had something planned for after the meeting? Well of course you had something planned for after the meeting, it was a fun and non-violent gift exchange and party to allow us all to have some great fellowship and food. And what better way to go out than with a party.
Some quick highlights from the meeting before you get to see some pictures.
* If you plan on participating in the crew and coxswain academy this year, please contact John Poulson and Kevin Thiel FSO-OP 2012 with your intentions. They will work with you to see that your squared away for the academy.
* Congrats to Lynn Easton. Your a Grandaddy to another Granddaughter . Another lucky one to spoil.
* DIRAUX notes are being sent once a month highlighting activities in DIRAUX's office. This is a great source of information from DIRAUX and the staff that helps keep the auxiliary running.
* Uniform of the day at the boat show will be Tropical Blue. Please see that your uniform is squared away when attending the boat show.
* The UDC has an excess of the untucked ODU which means you may now purchase more then 1 set of the ODU from the UDC.
*Commanders remarks were short due to the Change of Watch where FC Poulson will grace us with his last Commanders Comments before passing the Gavel to FC elect Rick Williams.
*If you have not sent your check in for the Change of Watch, please do so as soon as you can. Its going to be a memorable COW.
Stay tuned for more on the meeting in the December meeting minutes.
Here is a slideshow of the meeting and party.
