SOLAR CUP 2008

The U.S. Coast Guard Auxiliary will be on hand for this year's Solar Cup, May 16 - 18 at Lake Skinner in Temecula Valley.
The Coast Guard Auxiliary will provide a safe environment on the water and near the shore by providing personnel trained in lifesaving, boating, medical and safety. If you ever wondered about just what the Coast Guard Auxiliary is and does, members will be available to acquaint the public about the role of the Auxiliary in today’s society. There will be, exhibits, and static displays of equipment used in boating safety and homeland security.

The Solar Cup is a solar-powered boat race competition where students design, build, equip, and race solar-powered boats. It is a contest of design, speed and endurance that allows the participants to use an alternative power source in a real world application. This FREE event is open to the public, colorful, and entertaining.

Members of the Coast Guard Auxiliary wishing to volunteer should contact Larry J. Bitonti, Deputy Incident Commander at ( 760 ) 408-3780 or email: HOD238@aol.com
