Welcome to Flotilla 72
On behalf of the
members of flotilla 72, I would like to welcome you to our website. As part
of our 2009 leadership, I am privileged to be a member of this outstanding
and highly active flotilla. As the oldest flotilla in Rhode Island, we have
a long and rich history which continues to be written to this day.
The U.S. Coast Guard
Auxiliary is a diverse, dedicated group of individuals who have voluntarily
stepped forward to offer their time, talents and skills in assisting the
U.S. Coast Guard with its various missions. They include Search and Rescue,
Marine Safety, Maritime Domain Awareness, as well as providing our local
Coast Guard units with operational and administrative support. Our main
focus is to promote boating safety. This is accomplished through our safe
boating courses, offering FREE vessel safety checks, and providing
FREE boating literature to the public. Working alongside the U.S. Coast
Guard, we are helping to protect our environment and serving our local
boating communities as well as our Nation. We make a difference and you can
too!
Our flotilla meets in
East Providence on the second Wednesday of each month. Please accept my
invitation to attend one of our meetings. Take this opportunity to meet our
members and see what our flotilla does to make a difference. Whether you
enjoy boating or have skills to contribute, please consider becoming part of
an outstanding team, the U.S. Coast Guard Auxiliary. It’s where ordinary
people do extraordinary things!
Don Sullivan
Flotilla Commander 72, 1st District Northern Region
