Jacobs of the United States Coast Guard Auxiliary. The Commodore has been a member of the United States Coast Guard Auxiliary for thirty-one-years and is currently serving as the District Commodore, 11th Coast Guard Auxiliary District. He is responsible for the supervision of the internal and external operations of the District, which includes nine Divisions in four States, twenty-one Departments and seventeen Special Appointments.
Harry is a member of the Santa Fe Springs Rotary Club, a Past President of the Whittier Rotary Club [District 5320] and a Paul Harris Fellow. He has been the guest Speaker at over 330 service clubs, in Kern, Los Angeles, Orange, San Diego and Ventura Counties, since 2004.
On August 17, the Commodore spoke about America’s Waterway Watch, a combined effort of the Coast Guard and its Reserve and Auxiliary components. Coast Guard Reserve personnel concentrate on connecting with businesses and government agencies, while Auxiliarists focus on building AWW awareness among the recreational boating public.
