ADSO-PA
We established a very professional and a�ractive display highlighting Boating Safety, Marine Safety, and Recruitment for not only the Auxiliary but for the Academy and Active Duty. We partnered with the USCG Recruiting Office New York and multiple Auxiliary members who are also academy Admissions Partners were also present. We had interactive items such as try on our gear,( PFD, SAR Vest, and CG Helmet) and hands on how to use a VHF radio.
Auxiliarist Bert Ongkeo supplied cardboard airplanes & boats for kids who stopped by along with our supply of boating safety and marine safety coloring books.
Auxiliarist John Reidy provided us with his VDS display with distress flag and electronic Flare for people to see. Many people signed up with interest in Boating Courses, Joining the Aux, and joining the Coast Guard.
