USPS Courses Offered Fall 2009 and Spring 2010

This year, five costal Squadrons in Western Connecticut have again coordinated their educational offerings to their members.

These Squadrons, from West to East, are: Captain Harbor, Stamford, Darien, Rowayton and Norwalk (note their burgees, above).

As can be seen by the schedule below, arrangements have been made to present ALL courses during the Fall of 2009 and Spring of 2010.

The courses are open to any member of any Squadron – as always. However, Members of these Squadrons have the opportunity to take ANY course in a nearby town, through the cooperation of this group. This group has the informal name of: The Consortium.
