    MOORPARK, CA. – The United Stated Coast Guard Auxiliary  members will be hand to help answer your questions about safe recreational boating during the Public Safety Weekend at Underwood Family Farm’s “25th Annual Fall Harvest Festival” on Saturday and Sunday

    The Coast Guard motto is Semper Paratus, meaning – Always Ready.

    Auxiliarist Patrick Newburn, Public Affairs Officer said, “This is a fun and informative event for the whole family to see and learn about the life saving operations of the Coast Guard.”

    Coast Guard Auxiliarists will provide safety information on recreational boating, boating safety class registration, free vessel safety checks, current federal laws, and importance of wearing life jackets.

    The overarching mission of the U.S. Coast Guard Auxiliary is to contribute to the safety and security of citizens, ports, waterways and coastal regions. Newburn said, “The Auxiliary is seeking volunteers to join the 21,000 men and women uniformed volunteer component of the United States Coast Guard.”
