The U.S. Coast Guard Auxiliary is teaching its last two boating safety classes of the summer on July 11 and 25.

Officials said, "Ready for summer fun on the water? Got your boat, your sunscreen and your gear? Well, if you were born after Jan. 1, 1989, you need a Tennessee boating license. That’s where the Coast Guard Auxiliary comes in. Successful completion of the class qualifies you for your Tennessee boating license." 

The classes are held at Chattanooga State Community College and taught by Coast Guard Auxiliary instructors.

Class cost is $35, with lunch provided. 

Pre-registration is required. To register, contact David Ferguson at 706-463-3138 or aubieferg@gmail.com.
