Broward Council Members and Friends
I hope this finds everyone well and ready for a new year of council activities.
The beginning of the year is also the time to pay annual local dues. While paying local dues is not a requirement to be part of our Council, it is a way to provide us additional funds to support our adopted units. With Fleet Week 2024 being held in Miami, we will be missing out on the funds we normally collect selling soda and water like we did at Port Everglades. Any additional contributions to the Council will help us to continue supporting our units.
I also want to recognize one of our adopted units, the USCGC MANOWAR, for being selected as Honorable Mention for the 2023 Hopley Yeaton Cutter Excellence Award for small cutters. In addition, the MANOWAR’s Officer-In-Charge, BMCS Brodie McDonald was selected for Honorable Mention for the Hopley Yeaton Superior Enlisted Cutterman Award. These are very prestigious awards that cover the entire US Coast Guard cutter fleet, so making the Honorable Mention list makes them #1 as far as we are concerned!
Best regards,
Glenn A. Wiltshire Capt. USCG retired
