The Massachusetts Committee for the Employer Support of the Guard
and Reserve sponsors many events during the course of the year. These
special events involve ESGR Members and groups of Employers.
ESGR has held these events to celebrate the partnership between
the committee and employers who have members of the guard and reserve
on their staff. One of the many gatherings is called:
"Luncheon with the boss".
On Friday, February 29, 2008, the first of at least three scheduled
luncheons was held at the U.S. Coast Guard Station in Boston's
Historic North End. Twenty employers and five members of MA ESGR
attended the morning long tour followed by lunch in the galley with
Coast Guard Personnel. All the guests were impressed by the
professionalism, dedication to duty and team work of the combined
Active Duty and Reserve Coast Guard Force. The base of operations is located on
the waters edge at the bottom of Hanover St. All
attendees witnessed diving , sea traffic control and
rescue operations executed flawlessly. A big "Bravo
Zulu" was sent out to all of the Guard folks for a job "Well
Done"
