Local Dues

Have you sent yours in yet?

   

Each year, we ask our members to pay local dues for our Council and if possible make an additional donation.  Your local dues provide direct financial support to the Council which enables us to carry on our mission here in South Florida.

As we have done in the past, we are providing a registration form that enables members to designate additional funds to be used for Council activities. The form lists the names of the military units we support as well as several major events we host. We hope that you might consider making a donation along with your dues in order to help us to continue these activities. 

The form for this purpose is available by clicking here.

New for 2023! - This year in addition to writing a check, our Treasurer has set up the means to send in our dues using the internet and a credit card. To take advantage of this new feature simply

However you decide to contribute, we hope you will be able to complete this New Year's chore soon. With the pandemic and other changes, some of the traditional revenue sources we have enjoyed over the years are no longer available to us. Thus making local dues more important than ever.

   Our 2023 Newsletters are available here online! - All editions of our award winning newsletter, the Helmsman, are available here our newsletters page.


President's Message

 

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
Council President
