Division 20, Continued
Flotilla 20-03 with 23 members on the roster and many several ladies and gentlemen Auxiliarists active have had a busy year last
year. We accomplished 7 hours of membership training, 16 hours of public affairs, 25 hours of navigation patrols, 26 hours of surface
patrols, 22 vessel exams with 3 being facility surface vessels and 1 radio, as well as 3 public education classes. Our on the water season
was cut somewhat short do the fiber dam (the one and only inflatable dam in the continental United States) having the inflatable bags
repaired on Schikellamy State Park, PA. We hope to outdo ourselves this season with new member recruitment through public
education (winter-spring classes have already begun), public affairs and surface patrols. Making our local water ways safer for all of the
public.
