USCG Auxiliary Meeting
Kodiak Flotilla Minutes
December 22, 2007

The meeting was called to order at the home of Bob & Ann Hough at 1730 hours by FC - Mike Amberg.

The meeting was opened with the Pledge of Allegiance led by George Lee and opening prayer was offered by Mark Nymeyer.

FC – Amberg introduced guests and made opening remarks, thanking Bob and Ann for their hospitality in hosting our Dec. meeting and providing wonderful food.

FC – Amberg announced staff officers and shared the following information for members:

1. District conference dates: Feb. 18-20 in Homer; transportation would be different this year with C-130 access not being available. The division Capt. Sig Murphy pledged to find ways of assisting those who need travel help.

2. We are looking for possible grants and other means for raising money for the Flotilla. Base organizations were mentioned and staff officers along with the FC will do some investigating taking care to not violate the spirit of the Auxiliary when it comes to “raising money”.

3. Several members of the auxiliary reported that they had participated in Computer training classes at the ESU on base and recommended that others take advantage of the training in the future. It looks like they will return next year.

4. AUX-04 training is in Alameda but may be cancelled if interest does not increase. Susan Nymeyer will e-mail and remind members of the opportunity.

Hearing no other business: motion to adjourn was moved, seconded and carried @ 1741 hours

The flotilla returned to the feeding grounds!
