SN Elisabeth Hanna selected as Enlisted Person of the Year for District 13

SN Elisabeth Hanna was selected as the Enlisted Person of the Year for District 13 at an event in Seattle last night. Elisabeth is a SN at Station Portland and is currently (except for last night) at Boatswain's Mate "A" School in Virginia. Elisabeth is also an Auxiliarist and member of Flotilla 76, Swan Island Oregon.


She will now represent the District in the selection for the Coast Guard Enlisted Person of the Year.

The many of us who have had the opportunity to work with and learn from Elisabeth are all well aware of how she exemplifies the Coast Guard values. She is an exceptional Guardian and an exceptional person.

Here is a note from Auxiliarist Wes Hanna who puts it best:

My wife, Elisabeth, was selected to represent District 13 for the Enlisted Person of the Year award last night. The award recognizes those who exemplify Coast Guard values, personal and work ethics and demonstrate leadership and teamwork. Elisabeth puts her whole heart into her Coast Guard work, and I am always very proud her.

Elisabeth is likely already on her way back to Yorktown, VA to continue Boatswain's Mate "A" School.

Congratulations Elisabeth! We are honored to have you as a shipmate.

---------- Forwarded message ---------- From: Janaro, Jeff LT <_Jeff.G.Janaro@uscg.mil_ (mailto:Jeff.G.Janaro@uscg.mil) > Date: Sun, Feb 27, 2011 at 7:29 AM Subject: USCGC BARQUE EAGLE Public Affairs Outreach To: "Scholle, Marie COMO" <_ffmms@uaf.edu_ (mailto:ffmms@uaf.edu) >

Good morning Deputy National Commodore Scholle,

I'm writing to let you know about USCG Barque EAGLE's facebook outreach and ask your assistance in generating excitement about this endeavor amongst the AUX. As I'm sure you are aware, EAGLE is America's Tall Ship and our Coast Guard's only dedicated afloat training platform.

This year, we are celebrating EAGLE's 75th Anniversary and are returning the ship to Hamburg, Germany, where she was built in 1936. As part of our celebration, we are trying to raise awareness about the Coast Guard and EAGLE by getting 7,500 "fans" on _facebook.com_ (http://facebook.com/) for EAGLE's page. I ask that you help me get the word out to the AUX about EAGLE's facebook site, where people are able to follow our historic voyage this summer and in the future, and most importantly, help spread the word about the U.S. Coast Guard and EAGLE.

EAGLE works very closely with the USCG AUX in every domestic (and occasionally foreign) port we visit. Additionally, we sail with at least one Auxiliarist every time we get underway in order to expose the trainees to the volunteer arm of the Coast Guard. Many Auxiliarists have been aboard and have assisted in our port calls, and for that we are always grateful.

We find that this website is an invaluable way to utilize social media in recruiting, educating and exciting the public about what it is we in the Coast Guard and aboard EAGLE do every day.

If you are able and willing, please share the following link with those Auxiliarists under your command and encourage them to become a "fan" of EAGLE. The link is: _www.facebook.com/coastguardcuttereagle_ (http://www.facebook.com/coastguardcuttereagle)

I hope I am not out of line writing to you, but I was hoping as a Deputy National Commodore you would be able to disseminate this message to your District Commodores and their public affairs staff. In return, I am happy to add a link to any national auxiliary facebook site to EAGLE's page.

Thank you for your time, ma'am,

LT Jeff Janaro Operations Officer USCG Barque EAGLE (WIX 327) ph: (860)439-1562 _https://www.facebook.com/CoastGuardCutterEagle_ (https://www.facebook.com/CoastGuardCutterEagle)

Web sites

Hello Members of the Coast Guard District 13 Auxiliary

I have had many inquires into the Official D-13 web site location well here it is:

Another interesting site is:

Now is a good time to make sure your information in AUXDATA is correct your FSO-IS can assist you in this, or look it up in AUXOFFICER yourself.

Order Safety Boating Materials

Ordering Boating Safety Materials

February 2011

Flotilla Members:

Spring is coming and flotillas will be ordering materials. Because of the tight State budgets and the reduced budget for Coast Guard, we need to conserve our resources.

Use the following procedure when placing an order:

1. The MA or FC does the ordering for the Flotilla - no one else.

2. Order what you may need. Do not hoard or stock pile.

Auxiliarists order from 3 different places

1. The State's Boating Program (each state has a different procedure)

2. ANSC (Auxiliary National Supply Center) catalog is on the National Auxiliary website (www.cgaux.org/members). Use the ANSC form, on the back page of ANSC catalog.

3. Joann Hall - ADSO-MA handles the ordering of Auxiliary Public Education material (books). Ordering form attached.

4. From other sources in your area who may have material available for your Flotilla.

The State Liaison Officer of your State (Ronnie Fritz, Idaho; Edmond Hutchinson, Montana; Danny Dail, Oregon; and Bonnie Harding, Washington) will be sending you the process of obtaining boating material from your State. If you have questions contact your SLO of your State.

Welcome to 2011!

To all Auxiliarists in District 13: As we start another year together please allow me to wish you a very happy and successful New Year, and to thank you for the honor of serving as your District Commodore for the next two years. I want to thank every elected and appointed officer at the flotilla, division and district level for the part you are playing to fulfill our mission. The entire leadership team under the able day-to-day guidance of District Chief of Staff Dean Wimer is at your service. Our National Commodore, COMO Jim Vass, has adopted as his watchwords for 2011 "Dependability, Integrity and Diversity". Here in District 13 our watchwords are "Credibility, Accountability and Responsibility". If you add these to the core values of the Coast Guard "Honor, Respect and Devotion to Duty" you have the essence of what we are about, and how we go about performing our missions. We strive always to do the Right Thing, the Right Way for the Good of the Order. We hold ourselves accountable to the highest standards, even when we think others may not be watching. Admiral Papp has called for a "Steadying of the Service". A call for an increased focus on safety and excellence in carrying out of basic missions. Our major part of this is Recreational Boating Safety, which includes our operational activities on the water and in the air. We strive continually to prevent accidents and mishaps on the water through our Public Education, Vessel Examination and Program Visitor activities, and our work with the states and their programs. At the same time we augment the active duty where appropriate and possible. There is much to be done and many opportunities for service throughout the entire 400,000 square mile district of Washington, Oregon, Idaho and Montana. The focus of our leadership team is to strive to bring the best opportunities to as many members as possible. We are committed to the concept that the organization is at its best when each member is helped to achieve the maximum involvement in programs, the maximum satisfaction from their efforts and the best training we are able to make available. Our members are our biggest asset, and our entire leadership effort at the elected and appointed positions must be devoted to ensuring that the needs of the individual member are met as much and as often as possible. You will see some minor changes this year. We will be emphasizing the Area Training Meetings as the venue of choice to deliver training, especially that received by our DSOs at N-TRAIN. We are trying to make excellent training available to you in as convenient and effective a manner as possible. Please take advantage of it! Thank you for your membership in this great organization, and for your service. It is much appreciated. Keep up the good work. Semper Paratus. Peter COMO Peter Raiswell Commodore, United States Coast Guard Auxiliary, District 13. _______________________________________________ Cgd13aux-dpn mailing list Cgd13aux-dpn@cgls.uscg.mil http://cgls.uscg.mil/mailman/listinfo/cgd13aux-dpn
