Join the Coast Guard Auxiliary

The next meeting of the U.S. Coast Guard Auxiliary in Newport will be 7:00 to

9:00 PM on Tuesday, September 2nd at the Coast Guard Station Yaquina Bay

mess deck. Anyone interested in joining this volunteer organization that works to

support the Coast Guard is welcome to attend this meeting.

Requirements for membership are: U.S citizenship, minimum age of 17, no

felonies, and ability to pass a background check. Ownership of a boat is a plus,

but not a requirement: many other skills are needed and welcome. For Yaquina

Bay Auxiliary information please phone Flotilla Commander, Larry Cox at

(541)764-3504
