National Awards List Update

An updated list of National Auxiliary Awards has been prepared by the
National Board and/or Coast Guard Auxiliary authority other than the
National Board (e.g. NEXCOM, NACO). Please review the list to determine
which awards of these awards your unit or individual members of your unit
may be qualified to receive. Now is an excellent time to review the progress
and accomplishments of the past year and recognize those members who have
contributed to your Flotilla, Division or District success.

Winter Safety Precautions

A variety of hazards accompany cold weather. The Directorate of Health and
Safety encourages all members of the Coast Guard family (and their families)
to be aware of the various hazards, the risks involved with exposure to
them, and the management strategies that can be taken to avoid them. Please
share this ALCOAST information with your shipmates and their families. It
would be most appropriate to present this information at a flotilla meeting.

Annual Member Summary and Status Report

During the next two months, every member will be receiving their personal
2006 Annual Member Report via their Flotilla Commander. The purpose of the
report is to thank the members for their service in 2006 and give them an
opportunity to verify their personal information. Letters explaining the
process for obtaining and distributing the Annual Member Report have been
sent, via the chain, to the elected officers and IS officers. Any correction
to member information listed on the reports should be routed by the member
to the appropriate IS officer for data input by 1 April 2007.
