DIVISION XX REPORT MARCH 2006 3/21/2006
Dear Charles:
We had our change of watch in Jan for the new officers. Since that time we met at the Division level in Feb. and March. At the Feb meeting plans were made for our upcoming Boat Show at Rockland County Comm. College from 3/17 to 3/19. The boat show went very well and was well attended. The day before I was contacted by Senior Chief Petty Officer Lawrence E. McDonnel who wanted to share our booth at the show. He was more than welcomed and I met him at the boat show on Friday 3/17. There was alot of information given out and the latest videos were played. There was excellent participation by Division Auxiliarists. At the March meeting for Division the RCO-N passed out to each FC a list that identified all flotilla members who needed to update their quals. All in all we have had a good 3 months and we look forward to the conference. Thanks for all you do for the Auxiliary!!
