VERO BEACH POWER SQUADRON : Troop Support

What is a Vero Beach Power Squadron?

Vero Beach Power Squadron(VBPS) is a non-profit group of volunteers who are socially compatible and have a common love and appreciation for pleasure boating, whether power or sail.

For more detail on VBPS see the December (20) archive posts.....

We are a member of District 8. We are one of the 450+ squadrons of the United States Power Squadron ®.

District 8 is one of the 33 districts in the organization and covers the East Coast of Florida from Sebastian Inlet to Key West.

Objectives of the organization are self education, civic service and social activities.

You do not need to own a boat to be a member.

The VBPS was chartered in 1956.

Hi Bob,
My husband, Dan & I, delivered a van full of donations to the Veterans Admin. Office on Tuesday. The contact person there is Carol Waldrop. It's called the "Operation Warm Heart". Her email address is doxeelady@yahoo.com. If you want further details for your article.

I sent thank you notes to the 3 donations that I know of that came from non members of the VBPS.

Wanita Barnhart of Sebastian, FL is the lady who with her co workers made the 200 stars for troops. She did say she could use more used flags. I don't feel I can give you her number but if you mention that in the article & get a response I'll call her & tell her so she can make the arrangements.

The other donations came from the residents of the Ranchland Mobile Home Park in Vero Beach. The names I got were Joanne Mulligan, organizer & individuals Ed & Joyce Mc Quillen.

Thanks again for all you're doing for the VBPS.
