Travel Claims - Any travel claims from the 1st and 2nd quarters should have already been submitted. Third quarter (Apr-Jun) travel claims are due now. Awards Conference Travel claims will no longer be accepted after July 6 - Submit any late claims immediately as the funds will be reclaimed and used for other purchases. 5. Recently a Coast Guard, SECNY member was the victim of an attempted car jacking in Staten Island. Statistically your chances of being a carjacking victim are very slim, and prevention actions can reduce the risk even more. It can happen anywhere, not just in "high crime" neighborhoods. It can occur during the daylight as well as after dark. It's a crime of opportunity-a thief searching for the most vulnerable prey. Being the victim of a "carjacking" can be dangerous, even deadly, however there are some common sense precautions you can take to put the odds in your favor. See the D1SR Diraux website regarding tips to avoid being a victim. http://diraux.cgaux1sr.org/Misc/CarjackingPrevention.pdf 6. The purpose of this list is to keep Auxiliarists in the First Southern abreast of current developments, policies, manuals, etc. 7. Internet Release and Distribution is Authorized. 8.
