Flotilla of the Year

FLOTILLA 095-41-04 Fox Lake wins Flotilla of the Year 2023
It is my pleasure to announce that Flotilla 095-41-04 Fox Lake has exceeded our expectations for the calendar year 2023.  At the recent regional D-train conference in St. Charles Il: we received ribbons for the most active flotilla for the last two years and the best Public Education flotilla for the last two years.  As flotilla commander, these awards were a very nice surprise. 
The icing on the cake, which was another surprise, came later in the evening.  Our present Flotilla Commander (Alan Golbach) and Vice Commander (Pam Jarka) were we received the citation, our little back water Flotilla, Flotilla of the year for the entire Ninth Western Region. The Coast Guard Auxiliary 9th Western Region proudly supports Sector Lake Michigan with Nine Divisions spread throughout the applicable portions of Wisconsin, Illinois, Indiana, and Michigan. Each division has up to nine Flotillas. So, to receive this award is unexpected for our small Flotilla.
There are so many people and organizations that made this possible and we couldn’t have done it without your support.  A special thank you to the communities who we serve, the Chain of Lakes and Fox River Basin.  Congratulations Flotilla 095-41-04 Fox Lake, keep up the great work.
