Get Involved

Here is your chance to come together as Coastie women or get involved in the community.  Many of you may have children, spouses who are away, or a house outside of Coast Guard housing and need a way to get out and have fun.  Also, you might be new to Valdez and need to know how to get involved.  Whatever your situation is, we want you to be aware of what is available to you.
