National Marina’s Day—August 9thNational Marina Day is a great opportunity for Auxiliary flotillas to engage in outreach of their own. RBS Program Visitors are encouraged to contact their local marinas in advance of National Marina Day to organize Auxiliary participation. Giving free Vessel Safety Checks, advertising upcoming Public Education programs, reminding boaters about America’s Waterway Watch, recruiting new members, or setting up displays featuring PFD wear and other elements of safe recreational boating are all ways that local flotillas can capitalize on the opportunities presented by National Marina Day.
