Auxiliary Public Affairs
CONTEST WINNERS
Every year the Coast Guard Auxiliary Public Affairs Directorate has a contest to celebrate the best examples
of our work. Each year I am amazed at the quality and originality of our members who produce this work,
and this year is absolutely no exception. I want to thank all the members, Flotillas, Divisions and Districts who
had a hand in creating these entries and I appreciate your submitting them for the PA Awards.

FELLOWSHIP
– Coast Guard Active Duty and
Auxiliary aviators share laughter and stories during
the second annual Auxiliary Aviation Dining Out.
The Fellowship social was attended by Coast Guard
and Auxiliary aviators from across District 7 during
DTRAIN. As a cornerstone of the Auxiliary, fellowship
among our members is critical to mission’s success.
Though our missions are not focused about the social
aspect of being together, finding time after the fact
to build friendships are key, many of which will last
a lifetime.

MEMBER SERVICES
– Coast Guard Auxiliary
Color Guard stand ready at the District Fifth-
Northern DTRAIN immediately preceding the formal
dinner. Service to our membership goes beyond job
performance. Being a part of a color guard at function
is one example of how our members continue to
support the Auxiliary each and every day.
