Idaho On Course!
SLO Larry Graves reports that he met with Idaho BLA several times about the CGAUX and IDPR (Idaho Department of Parks & Recreation) identifying assets and melding them together. Larry states: "We can get more for our buck and enhance our relationship working together for our same goals of RBS. As a result & start of this concept, we had a workshop meeting on February 19th in Boise with Divisions 8 & 11 Commanders and their respective SO-PA and SO-PE with IDPR Dave Dahms & Kim Jackson (IDPR PE Coordinator) and myself. The work shop was 8 hours with round table discussions included the following:
- Partnering together
- Have the same goals
- Improved coordination
- "Wear it" Children's Poster Contest
- National Safe Boating Week
- Boat shows / Safety Fairs
- Life Jacket Kiosks Program
- Non-motorized events

Idaho had a Huge Number of Outreach Events
This summer was very busy for Idaho recreational boating. The reservoirs were full so there was lots of water for boating. The Auxiliary partnership with the Idaho Department of Parks & Recreation (IDPR) has really grown. Idaho Auxiliarists held over 109 outreach events with over 643 presentation man-hours. It was estimated that these events reached 114,041 people. Twenty-five of those events were hosted by IDPR and reached over 39,000 people.
