Greetings from the Bridge of District 13!
The Bridge of D-13 extends a hearty invitation to all Auxiliarist throughout the District and other areas to stand a Watch at the Seattle 2012 Boat Show!
We are looking forward to an exciting time of fellowship with Auxiliarists at the Boat Show as we continue this voyage of working with the public in the Recreational Boating Safety Programs of the US Coast Guard and Auxiliary!
As you may know 2012 is an ear mark of some changes in Washington State RBS and will be a year to remember!
This event will present many new challenges in working with the public in their education and understanding of these many changes and changes to come. In addition, the Auxiliary booth has been upgraded to a new presentation of its display materials, including flat panel screens for videos!
We extend this invitation to all Auxiliarists and if you plan to be in the Seattle area we want you to have the opportunity to stand a Watch if you so desire.
