Thomas has been the Squadron Educational Officer for many years and still enjoys bringing educational opportunities to our members and the public. Thomas was the District Educational Officer for 3 years, R/C for Cooperative Charting for 3 years and he still returns year after year to the squadron with many new ideas and programs. He enjoys power boating and feels Cooperative Charting is one of the best Club activity. As Tom says, “It’s a great way to get out on the water with squadron friends and family.”
This will be Ron’s third term as commander, celebrating his twenty-fifth year as a member of Oyster Bay Power Squadron. He has served as Squadron Education Office, and Execution Officer. When not on the bridge, he has been an active member on the Executive committee.
He has been a Vessel Examiner since 2010 and a certified instructor teaching ABC classes for NYS safe boating certification, several different courses and seminars.
He is an avid sailor that has experience sailing (and racing) boats from 24 to 45 feet participating in club, long distance, and ocean racing. He holds a B.O.C. Inland Navigator rating and a U.S. Sailing Association certificate in Power Boat Handling.
Ron happily admits, “I enjoy sharing my passion for sailing with those new to sailing as well as experienced sailors.” You can see Ron racing every Wednesday in the harbor. It looks like great fun, because Ron make it look so easy.
Thomas Peltier, SN - Educational Officer
Charles Neuman - Administrative Officer
The New Bridge is here...
Charles rejoined and became active with the Club attending meetings and volunteering to be on the Executive Committee. Now as Administrative Officer, Charles is busy looking for presenters who can educate and entertain the members at our meetings. Charles believes that learning is a full time job - one that continues through our lifetime. Being an educator, himself, he knows that we learn best when we are engaged and enjoy the process. Charles invites all, both members and non-members, to contact the Oyster Bay leadership and "find out about our next meeting. You just may enjoy it."
Larry Weiss has been a member of our Club for over 20 years and a past Commander (2006-2008). Larry is an avid power boater who loves relaxing on his boat (Ever After) in Oyster Bay Harbor with his bride, Donna. Larry is the organizer and host of OysterBay's Blessing of the Fleet. Plan on attending or participating.
Cruising the Sound and distant shores with friends and family is a perfect day, and certainly puts a smile on Larry's face.
Open Position - Treasurer
The Treasurer's position is now available for any member who has a desire to help our squadron continue on its journey helping people learn more about safe boating.
Ann Peltier, SN - Secretary / Tresurer
The Secretary is a position that is not new to Ann. Happily, she accepted the nomination. Now she challenges all to step forward with her and share 1 hour a month in Volunteer Service to the community and/or boater education. As Ann says, "It's rewarding and it's easy. We're all here to help you have fun."
