The second public meeting for the LMA membership was held May 10 at the Pilgrim Lutheran Church in Lexington.  

Co-President Mike Kirk opened the meeting.  He introduced the newest corporate sponsors.

Clay Goodwin from the Coast Guard Charleston was the speaker.  He indicated that they do a lot of training on Zoom.  You can access it through DNR and other websites. The training is 3 evenings long for about 2 1/2 hours on Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday.  If you finish the course, there is a possible reduction on your insurance but you need to check with your agent.  Auxiliary does a safety patrol but due to Covid, it has restricted their patrol on Lake Murray.  DNR has three officers assigned to Lake Murray to handle navigational issues.  The Power Squadron and DNR work together on these issues.
