The Chapter and its beneficiaries are grateful to the following people:

1. The Cape Cod Chapter, CPOA Boosters list was started about 1989 or so to defray expenses related to our monthly newsletter. This included, but not limited to, supplies, bulk mailing permit and monthly mailing fees. The Boosters at that time were not limited to members as almost two sheets were business card displays of their business. Not many years passed when this display was considered advertising and we had to discontinue outside support. The members have continued to be Boosters by making a donation (usually $10.00/year) and having their name and expiration month & year listed in the HELMSMAN.

YES, the number of Boosters has dwindled but your support is still needed to carry on our work. See our Chapter Treasurer to become a BOOSTER...(

Expired boosters are removed after 6 months.
