– Free Safety Seminar & Bowling This Week – |
Hello %firstname% %lastname%,
Two opportunities this Saturday – Learn the Socialize!
I wanted to pass on to the Vento Solare crew information about two upcoming events this coming Saturday 4 March. Coasters Harbor Navy YC is holding its annual bowling party at the Liberty Center bowling alley on base. There is also a safe boating rules of the road presentation that I encourage everyone to attend. It is intended for both power and sail boaters. The Better Bay Alliance is making a concerted effort to reach out to as many boaters across Narragansett Bay to provide this free safety seminar. Below are details with online registration links.
No need to send me an response unless you need help getting on base. I'll get notified automatically when you register using the links below. Attend just one or register for both.
