WELCOME TO THE FLOTILLA 42 PHOTO PAGE


        Hi Folks,
        Below is a group of pictures showing the different aspects of what you can expect
        when you
join the Auxiliary.

        As you can see, it is often a lot of work, training, patrols, and vessel inspections.
        We also have booths at Boat Shows, and Safe Boating Day is one of our biggest  
         events to educate
the boating public on safety.

         Is it all work and no play?  No indeed.  Although we're not a "party club" we do like
         to have
fun, and try to have something special about every 3 months, such as our 
         St. Patrick's Day
Celebration in March, surprise in June, barbeque in September and
         our Change of Watch dinner
in December.

 Every year one branch of the Military is honored.  In 2003 it was the Coast Guard. The following are a couple of  pictures from the  "Massing of the Colors" 11 NOV 03 at BCC Cocoa Campus

There are also District Conferences that are some work, but you can also have fun. The Spring Conference was held in Ft. Lauderdale, and a great little cruise called the Jungle Queen was available.  It's tough trying to get pictures  where you can see more of the subject, and less of people's heads, but here are a couple.

You can see there is much to do and experience in the Auxiliary. As in everything else in life, you only get out of it what you put into it. Flotilla 42 is known as the "Can Do" flotilla and if you're a "can do" person who really wants to get involved in Auxiliary affairs, please get in touch...we'd love to have you join our "family".
