At the Division election meeting the newly elected officers for 2010 are: Vincent Porsella, DCdr and John Geiger, VDCdr.
Any one planning to be at Station Jones Beach wearing ODUs must have their sleeves in the short position until October 31. From November 1 to March 31 long sleeves will be the proper uniform. This will assure that all Auxiliarists conform to the regular Coast Guard uniform, as requested by Sr Chief Lathrop.
There is a food drive going on at the Station for nonperishables. A box is inside the front door for your donations.
As the water temperature falls below 60 degrees, mustangs will be required unless a waiver is obtained from the OOD at Station Jones Beach.
New or re-inspection of Operational Facilities requires a copy of the registration.
Newly elected Flotilla Commander and Vice Commander are reminded of the Leadership Conference held in Groton, CT early December. This is very informative and highly recommended.
Please consider volunteering for a staff position for 2010. The Commander and Vice will need YOUR support. New positions added for 2010 are Chief-Response, Chief-Logistics, and Chief-Prevention. That makes 19 positions to be filled by 24 members.
Respectfully submitted,
Sol Zigman FC
Your Flotilla Needs You! And so do I!
