Boating safety classes opening


Get ready for a safe and fun boating season this summer. Earn your New York State Safe Boating Certificate by attending three evening classes. The Shelter Island Recreation and Police departments are offering a Safe Boating Class to be held at the Shelter Island School on Wednesdays, February 24 and March 3 and 10, from 6 to 9 p.m. Class instruction is free and all books and materials will be provided. A $10 NYS processing fee will be charged to those 18 and older. Make it a family affair or bring a buddy. Minimum age is 10 years. Class size is limited, so call Garth Griffin at 749-0978, after 4 p.m., to reserve your space.
