US Coast Guard Auxiliary, District 11N, Division 8 Web Site

Welcome to Division Eight web site. The goals for 2009 is summed up in one easy description, that is, to lead the entire District in surpassing all the successful accomplishments during 2008. The Coast Guard Auxiliary is an exciting volunteer organization that provides members with a multitude of opportunities to participate in supporting Coast Guard Missions. If you are a member, I do not have to tell you how special you are for providing your time and commitment and to say you are appreciated is far below the reality of your efforts. If you are a visitor of this site we would be very happy to provide you more information on the Coast Guard Auxiliary. Stay safe and Semper Paratus -

Division 8 is located in Northern California; our volunteer members provide support for the United States Coast Guard and the recreational boating community in Lake, Mendocino, Humboldt, and Del Norte Counties. The Division is composed of four flotillas each of which offer their members the opportunity to participate in many varied activities associated with boating on both the ocean and inland waters. The link buttons will provide you with information about the Auxiliary, our flotillas, events, and staff.
