Dear fellow COs/XOs,

I hope you and your families and crew enjoyed the holiday season. We’ll be holding our first Zoom format CO/XO meeting of the year at 7 pm on Jan. 25. Just as the planets will be in alignment that night we hope to have as many COs and XOs as possible present to discuss a variety of topics for what should be no more than an hour long session.

We’ll be going over the following subjects:
SFDPP certification
R7 Awards submissions
Bridge Crew Certification courts (optional)
Farpoint 2025 plans
R7 Charity Program
Recruitment Operations
R7 Merchandise
MSR filing

The link to this meeting will be posted by our R7 Comm Chief as usual. We look forward to seeing you there.

Until then, stay warm and stay safe, Happy New Year!
Adm. Bob Vosseller
Region 7 Coordinator
