Fellowship
As the summer gets into full swing, the members of District 5NR are out on the water, in the air, at marinas and
boat ramps and in front of classes helping and educating the boating public all in an effort to improve boating
safety. These things would not happen without motivated members willing to volunteer their time and energy.
We’re motivated by many things but we should always keep in mind that fellowship can be both a powerful
motivation and a “glue” that can hold us together as many of these efforts require groups of us working together
to be successful. The friendships we develop and assistance we give one another are great reasons to join and to
remain active!
Please include fellowship events in your activities whenever possible – and be sure to invite potential members too!

Picnic Lunch
Andy Crowley, SARDET Marcus
Hook Coordinator organized a very
successful QE day. Twenty six
members from several divisions
participated - including about a
dozen who were tested for their
original or three-year Coxswain and
Crew qualifications. There were four
qualification examiners on the five
participating boats. The event was
held at the Ridley Township Marina
on Darby Creek and the nearby
Delaware River with morning and
afternoon sessions and a fellowship
picnic lunch attended by all.
