Commander Robert Allen, Seaman, dismissed all 2012-2013 sitting Bridge Officers, District 16 Commander John Sherrick, Senior Navigator, dismissed Cdr. Allen. District Commander Sherrick addressed attendees challenging them to explore new waters not only by visiting new ports, but extending boating knowledge and public service within USPS. Next D/Cdr.

Pisani, Junior Navigator, Squadron Education Officer (SEO) Lt/C Robert Anderson, Advanced Pilot, Administrative Officer (AO) Lt/C Gary Wade, Seaman, and Treasurer Lt/C Cindy Mills, Seaman.
