They handed out pamphlets, coloring books, stickers and pencils, and spoke with those visiting these two National Night Out locations in Calvert County in an attempt to educate the boating public on safe boating (which among other things entails having everyone on board wear their Personal Flotation Devices (i.e. Life Jackets)), protecting our local waterways from trash and pollution, and being vigilant in the aftermath of 9/11. These dedicated volunteers weathered the scorching heat in White Sands and at the Calvert Beach Community Center for several hours Tuesday night, as they have done for several years to support of National Night Out. The members of the Flotilla participate in numerous other community activities in hopes of getting the message out to the boating and general public in an attempt to help make boating a safe and enjoyable activity. |
