Lake County >> Carrying on a 15-year tradition, three members of the United States Coast Guard (USCG) Auxiliary, Flotilla 88 of Lake County, traveled to the Noyo River USCG station on March 18 to prepare a St. Patrick’s Day luncheon for the coast guard personnel and their families stationed there. Seven members from Flotilla 87 of Mendocino County joined in to help with the barbecue.
In lieu of corned beef and cabbage, the menu was tri-tip steaks, which were barbecued and served with baked potatoes, green salad, homemade bread and vegetables provided by Flotilla 88. Soft drinks and a special cake commemorating St. Patrick’s Day with a message of “Thank You for your service” was provided by Flotilla 87.
The flotilla members were thanked profusely by the service personnel for the meal. In return, the flotillas thanked the young men and women for their tireless efforts in keeping the public safe on the water and protecting our shores.
