All Members are welcome to attend all meetings. Annual Meeting April 2008 Annual Meeting April 2006 Board Meeting November 2005 OUTSTANDING MEMBER PROFILE You probably know that our member, Bill Lazear, has been involved with Save The Bays for a long time, urging everyone to send in their $10 a year and be a member, and help keep the Bay like we want it. Maybe you know too that he and a friend, Jim Trunck, have written a program called, DepthWiz, for making depth charts. The program uses soundings, with location established by GPS, obtained aboard a small boat. They have made a booklet of depth charts of our own bays that Save The Bays sends to its members. They have since offered the program to the Power Squadron and to NOAA, the government agency that prints all navigation charts. NOAA got excited about it because it makes it practical for people to send depth data over the Internet by computer. No more stacks of paper on their desks that don't even leave room for coffee cups. So, NOAA has had one of their folks working with Bill and Jim to be sure that the output of the program will meet the government's standards. Now, it has all came together. NOAA is distributing the free program on disks to every one of the 450 Power Squadrons across the country. They announced that from now on they will only accept depth data that have been processed by, you guessed it, DepthWiz. |
