We Need You -- The Coast Guard Auxiliary is being called upon to provide operational support to the Coast Guard as they focus more heavily on homeland security.  We will need all the help we can get.  You need not own a boat or even be an experienced boater, since our missions are wide-ranging.  For information about existing Auxiliary missions and Charlevoix Flotilla 20-02, please contact us.  A member of the Flotilla will be happy to contact you to explore the ways in which you can volunteer to assist Team Coast Guard and serve your country.
