District 21 Home Page: This is the home page of our District Headquarters, where you can find activities that are being planned for our district, as well as links to all squadrons within our district.
Houston Power Squadron: This is the home page for our sister squadron. Typically, members living on the North and West sides of Houston have gravitated towards this group, while people living south and east of Houston gravitate to our squadron. This gravitation is simply a matter of convenience, in attending events, classes, etc.
