First District Southern Region
United States Coast Guard Auxiliary

To:     All Visitors
Subj:  We of the United States Coast Guard Auxiliary, 1st Southern Region welcome you.

The 1st Southern Region extends from the middle section of New Jersey and New York to the Canadian border including the States of Connecticut and Vermont. It is comprised of nearly 4000 members, civilian volunteers from all walks of life. The common thread of our members is the want and desire to help educate the Recreational boater in boating safety and assist the United States Coast Guard in its functions.

We donate thousands of hours doing Vessel Safety Checks, Public Education classes, Search and Rescue and Marine Domain Awareness operations. With these common interests and goals, we benefit from the enjoyment of a fellowship that membership in this organization offers.

Why not join with us to help the United States Coast Guard keep our country safe and secure by being part of the Homeland Security Team. Experience the most rewarding time of your life as a member of the United States Coast Guard Auxiliary.

Respectfully,
Tom Venezio
District Commodore - 1SR
