Project Earth Celebration:

Our major project for March and April 2025 is the joint Auxiliaries Project Earth Celebration. Petfleet is participating in the April 26th event and encouraging groups (chapters, regions, or individuals) to host Wilderness/Park Cleanups between April 22 (Earth Day) and May 11 (North America’s Mother’s Day), 2025. Eight groups from Regions 1, 5, and 13, including the USS Kitty Hawk, USS Antares, USS Cutty Sark, USS Vector, and USS Renaissance, are engaged in various activities such as park, river, and road cleanups, tree planting, recycling collection, and GeoCaching Cache In Trash Out events. Learn more about Project Earth.

Community Engagement: Fleet Captain Randy Mitson hosted a successful Ask Me Anything (AMA) Zoom event on April 29th, where five groups attended, generating significant interaction. A 58-minute video recording of the session is available to help further engage our community. Watch the YouTube Video session.

Registration Reminder: The registration form for the Cleanup Event is still open. This provides an excellent opportunity for more groups to get involved. Register your Clean-up Event.
