...NATIONAL SAFE BOATING WEEK MAY 19TH THROUGH MAY 25TH...
...THE SAFE BOATING TOPIC OF THE DAY IS LIFE JACKETS...
BEFORE YOU AND THE FAMILY HEAD OUT ON THE WATER THIS YEAR...TAKE A
LIFE JACKET AND WEAR IT. DID YOU KNOW THAT 85 PERCENT OF PEOPLE WHO

WEARING A LIFE JACKET IS ONE OF THE MOST SIMPLE AND EFFECTIVE LIFE
SAVING STRATEGIES FOR SAFE RECREATIONAL BOATING. BOATERS ARE
REQUIRED TO BRING A LIFE JACKET FOR EACH PASSENGER ONBOARD.
LIFE JACKETS TODAY ARE LIGHTWEIGHT...COMFORTABLE...AND PERFECT FOR
ANY BOATING OCCASION. THE IMPORTANT THING TO REMEMBER IS THIS...TAKE
A LIFE JACKET AND WEAR IT.
