The Coast Guard Spouses Club of the Greater New Orleans
WELCOMES ALL BRANCHES
The Coast Guard Spouses' Club of Greater New Orleans has just been re-started, after it had disbanded during COVID.
The Spouses’ Club is an inclusive, friendly group that exists to support the morale and well-being of Coast Guard families assigned to all units in the Greater New Orleans area. The Club organizes social and charitable activities for members. Additionally, there are smaller "Zip Code Connection" groups that exist to provide support and information and plan casual meet-ups within the various New Orleans neighborhoods.
Who can join?
Anyone in the Coast Guard family looking to meet people, share information, and make connections. This includes spouses, partners, widows and widowers of active-duty, retired, reserve, civilian, and Auxiliary Coast Guard members. Coast Guard members are welcome to join, as well. Spouses of other military branches and family members of Coasties such as parents and siblings can join as Associate Members.
