About Our History...
PONCE DE LEON INLET POWER
SQUADRON
Ponce de Leon Inlet Power Squadron
began as a Division of Daytona Beach Power Squadron. The first
organizational meeting was held at the New Smyrna Yacht Club on 15
December 1974 under the direction of D/C Burton H. Gilligan, AP, with
D/Lt/C Charles G. Patterson, JN, D/Lt/C Francis D. Littlefield, SN, of
the District Bridge. Daytona Beach Power Squadron was represented by
Cdr Carl A. Meneley, N, Lt/C Harold N. Conley, S, Lt/C Harry J.
Duffy, S, and P/C Nick L. Lacey, AP. The founding members did not
want to be known as New Smyrna Power Squadron (or Division) since
they felt that their operating area would be broader than that name
indicated. Their first choice was Ponce Inlet Power Squadron, but
this was not approved by the Rules Committee. Finally the name,
Ponce de Leon Inlet Power Squadron, was approved and their Charter
was granted, dated 16 December 1975. There were thirty-six Charter
Members and Albert G. E. Brent, AP, was elected the first Commander.
With the organization and chartering of three new Squadrons during
the year 1975, District 23 was then composed of twelve Squadrons.
