For the inland retirees and friends. I found out today after the quarterly meeting minutes were sent to me, the meeting was actually earlier today, so this is going out as current information.
Hello, everyone, this is another short notice of a meet and greet, apologies. Paul Luppert will be having a Coast Guard picnic in Eastern Washington this year. RickJones,AMT1(ret.) has volunteered to organize the picnic on Saturday, August 9th, 1000 to 1600 at Fairchild AFB’s Clear Lake Recreation area. Please confirm attendance via email to rjincda@gmail.com no later than Thursday, July 24.
From the minutes, there is additional information from other areas of the PacNorWest, please see below.
Portland/Vancouver (Dave Hoard): bi-monthly lunch meetings have had limited attendance, understandable with summer vacation plans. He distributes a local email distribution in addition to our regional email distribution.
North Olympic Peninsula (Mark Ashley): on-going monthly breakfast meeting (third Saturday of each month at the Oak Street Bistro). CAPTS Stephen Craig, USCGR(ret) is the new coordinator of the Northwest Coast Guard Reunion which will be held next year in Walla Walla, WA, from 11 to 13 September 2026. Please emailcgreunion2026@gmail.com for any additional information. Thank you.
