Happy Veterans Day! We are truly thankful for your service to this great nation. While most of us are enjoying a day off, some might be struggling with a loss of another service member. Please take a few minutes and check up on your battle buddies. 🇺🇸

Some of us were on duty on this day, some of us joined because of this day. May we never forget what happened, the innocent lives lost and those who made the ultimate sacrifice to save others.

We heard the Easter Bunny could use some help this year.
Since most everyone is stuck at home, we decided to throw a digital Easter Egg hunt! 🐰

The Easter Bunny has carefully hidden a bunch of eggs inside our website.
He even let us in on a little secret…there is a special GOLDEN EGG hidden somewhere!

Be sure to look carefully at every page, as you never know where he left his eggs. 🔍
Start your hunt here: www.SeaWest.Coop
(This egg hunt works best on a desktop or laptop. If you’re on your phone be sure to hold it horizontal.)

Once you think you have found all of the hidden eggs, complete the following steps:
1)Direct Message our page.
2)Tell us how many eggs you found (be sure to send this to us via message, not the comments.)
3)Then tag your friends and family in the comments below to share the fun!

If you find all the hidden eggs (including the Golden Egg), you’ll be entered into a drawing for an adorable custom plush bunny. 🐰

We’re giving away an even dozen, so your chances are good! And one of those lucky winners will also walk away with a $25 Target gift card! 🎯

Our egg hunt is only available for a limited time and will end at 6:00PM PST on Saturday April 11th.
Winners will be announced at 12:00PST on Easter Sunday.

Ready, set,GO!

On behalf of the River City Blues Chapter of the Chief Petty Officers Association, welcome to the kickoff of the Memphis 901 Futbol Club's second season! The RCB Chapter is working in conjunction with Memphis 901 FC and it's sponsors to hold a Coast Guard fundraising night for their season opener! Memphis 901 FC has requested the Coast Guard to post colors during the national anthem and has reserved a section of seats next to the 'hooligans'! You will be immersed in the sights, sounds, and comradery of the local 901 supporters. A portion of the ticket price goes towards the donation to the CPOA which gets turned right back around to help you all. The more tickets that get purchased, the more we will get into our account. Memphis 901 has said that we can share this flyer to expand our potential audience so if you know someone that might want to watch a game AND help out the CPOA, please pass this along.

The game is on Saturday March 7th, at 6 P.M. against Indy 11 at AutoZone Park!

Installment day! River City Blues has a new President and Vice President! Congratulations to all the new CPOA Officers!
