Additional Support for Coast Guard & Auxiliary Hurricane Victims Needed

Coast Guard Mutual Assistance has provided $160,000 in loans to over 32 of
our members in the hurricane devastated Gulf states, with additional members
still seeking support. Through your generosity, Operation Life Ring has
collected approximately $90,000 in donations with donations continuing to
trickle in to go to Coast Guard Mutual Assistance to offset Auxiliarist
loans.

I am appealing to all members to continue to open your hearts and support
your fellow members in these disaster stricken areas. If we can not offset
these loans through Operation Life Ring, our members, many of whom have been
left with virtually nothing, will have to begin repaying these loans in
April. Please support your fellow members of Team Coast guard by visiting
the Operation Life Ring website.
