An Approachable Commodore

Immediate Past Commodore Fred Bell is a good man, kind, knowledgeable, patient, and a very fair and wise man, seemingly reserved but
a very approachable Commodore.

Commodore Bell recently reminded a fairly new Flotilla 19 member that just because he is District 13’s Commodore is no reason to lose sight of the fact that he is a fellow Flotilla 19 member, one who is open to mentor, to answer questions, and listen to concerns. Commodore Bell wants input. At a recent
“All Hands Meeting” at Pier 36, Commodore Bell announced
that he wants input from the newest member to the most seasoned Auxiliarist and gave out his e-mail address and emphatically said,
“Use it!" That is an approachable Commodore.

In Buoy 13, Commodore Bell commented that he understands where the action is, at the flotilla level. Commodore Bell made one promise, RESPECT. He promised respect for all that Auxiliarists do and respect for Auxiliarists as individuals who may occupy many positions but have one rank;
Volunteer.

Commodore Bell listed three priorities, recruitment, public affairs, and recognition. He said find your twin, reach out to the public, and give recognition to your fellow hard working Auxiliarists.

Commodore Bell wrote in the, “We are team members, we will work together, and we will accomplish
great things.” Commodore Bell understands and appreciates what is behind the theme, One Auxiliary.
