To claim your prize, contact me or Vice Commander, and tell them you found your ID number. 1 I can’t believe it has been a year since your VCDR Valerie Ramsberger and I sat down in a restaurant, spread papers on the table, looked at each other and said ‘what do we do now?’ Drawing on our experience as flotilla commanders we did come up with a plan that anchored us for 2015. Valerie presented the plan at the first meeting in January and the rest is history. Division 4 has had an incredible year. We almost didn’t get started patrols, with the equipment mandate that came down, requiring us to have all our gear inspected to Coast Guard standards BEFORE we took to the water. George Rielly and Mike Rebeck stepped up and took the training and got the tools to get us inspected. Going one further, they held classes to pass the information down t the flotilla commanders and safety officers to complete the assignments. If it was not for the final waver, we would still be standing on the docks, in civies. Still we accumulated well over 225 hours on the water. And, that doesn’t include our members crewing for other Divisions which brings us up well over 400 hrs. Great job! Public Education increased this year with 90 persons taking and passing the ABS class. Although Somerville had more courses, Sewaren edged them out with 2 more participants. Union and Edison each held a course. We should easily surpass that in 2016. Well done to all! I think our attempt to bring the Division together through fellowship exceeded our expectations. Our two breakfasts were very well attended and the members were treated to relevant topics by very competent speakers. Again, thank you for supporting those functions. In the future why don’t you suggest a topic that you would want to know more about, and we (or you) can find a speaker. Remember this is your division. Our Newsletter has been a great success. Mike Rebeck started the publication this year and provided all of us with some great topics. Let us not fail to support this document. It is a window to Division 4 and our best practices for all to see. Now it is up to us to continue this publication by contributing your reports and other articles of interest as they occur. Thank you Mike! I would not be able to do my ‘job’ if it was not for the VCDR. Valerie has been the spark to the Division. Her untiring efforts, work ethic and genuine interest in representing our best interests have been outstanding. I’m looking forward having her continue to be the Chief of Staff in 2016. BZ Valerie. 2 Last but certainly not least, are the Kroks. They are there for all our meetings keeping us fed, watching the finances as well as working and supporting the District Commodore. Thank you for all you do. As this year’s activities come to a close, let us remember our fellow members who have passed over the bar and have contributed so much to our organization. For those of us that remain on watch, may your Holidays be bright, I wish all of you a healthy and happy New Year. 3 Vice Commander’s Message It is hard to believe that the year is drawing to a close! As the song says, “It was a very good year!” Staff officers have worked hard to insure that information about accomplishments was shared. Operationally, patrols came to a close having finished strong, 100% of PATONS were inspected , communications activities increased , work started on the Emergency Response Plan, public education continued through ABS classes, Vessel Exams and Program visits. Last quarter I asked you all to review the personal goals you set for yourselves. In January, we will be reviewing our Division 2015 goal accomplishments and setting the course for 2016. We are in the process of appointing staff officers so I urge all who are interested to step forward. There is much to do and we will need a strong team to accomplish it all. This quarter I have continued to mentor a new member. This has been an enlightening experience. Although I have been in the Auxiliary for 7 years, the New Member program allowed me to learn things I never knew. Admiral Papp’s Leadership videos are an example. In one of his videos he mentioned a book he keeps on his desk: The Maxwell Daily Reader : 365 Days of Insight to Develop the Leader Within You and Influence Those Around You by John C. Maxwell. As I was writing this, I randomly opened The book looking for a thought to share with all of you. Appropriately, I opened to “The Power of Recognition – Give Someone Else the Credit Today.” How true! As the Vice Division Commander there Is nothing I can do without all of you. Our successful 2015 belongs to YOU – THANK YOU!. I hope you all have enjoyed a happy holiday season and that 2016 is Healthy, Peaceful and Successful Year for Division 4. Start formulating your ideas and be ready to share them at our January meeting.
