Your web hosts, Ralph and Terry Modica, have been U.S. Coast Guard Auxiliarists since 2003. Terry is the SO-CS of Division 7, District 7, and FSO-CS of their flotilla. Nowhere else will you find so much, so easy, and so right for CG Aux websites! And we'll continually be adding more and more cool tools and specialized scripts for our own sites, which we'll share with our CG Aux clients — sometimes at no cost, other times for a very low set-up fee. Everything's first developed for, tested on, and widely used in our own division.

Contact us to ask for these services.

Look at these add-on features specially designed for CG Aux websites:

1. CGAux Mail (originally known as "Dada Mail" but we've improved it for our customers) is an email blast facility giving you the best distribution method for communications among members and officers, and for inviting public subscribers to safe boating programs and other events. (This is also available in other designs for other organizations.)

See a screenshot of the admin control panel.

See how Division 7 in District 7 is using it.

When you manually add people from your address book to your email's TO field, it's easy to make mistakes, and it exposes lots of addresses in lots of computers, making them very vulnerable to viruses that steal addresses for spammers. With Dada Mail, simply use one address: the e-list address!

Terry spent a year seeking, researching, and testing distribution list services and concluded that Dada Mail is the absolute best. It had to meet her high standards. Now, she has added to it and tweaked it to produce an even better e-list service! It includes:

• ease of use for both admin and subscribers
• how-to help that's readily available and easy to follow
• rich set of features
• admin control panel
• scheduler to pre-plan mailings that go out whether you're online or not
• protects members' email addresses
• sends customizable HTML emails
• can be used for one-way announcements by the list owner, or authorize only officers to send mail to the list, or allow everyone on the list to join the discussion as an e-group
• unlimited number of subscribers
• unlimited number of lists
• unlimited mailings
• optionally archives messages which are easy to delete
• easy to import lists
• easy to add and remove subscribers through the admin control panel
• easy to change an email address on multiple lists at the same time
• easy for subscribers to unsubscribe (they just click a link that's automatically provided at the bottom of every email)
• runs efficiently and reliably
• unavailable to spammers

Low cost! We charge only a $20 one-time fee for its installation for those who have a web hosting account with us.

Without a web hosting account, the cost is:

• $75/year if you have less than 4000 total subscribers
• $100/year if you have more 4000-8000 subscribers
• $120/year for more than 8000.

There's no limit to how often you send messages; if you exceed your alotted bandwidth (a generous 20 GB), we will ask you to pay a little more ($3/month).

Although the instructions are easy to follow and Dada Mail is easy to use, live training is available by phone and Live Help (chatroom) for $150/year.

2. OPS Training Records Database efficiently keeps track of the qualifications of crew and coxswains. And it gives coxswains an easy way to find crew from any flotilla in your division. A small price-sharing fee paid to Division 7 of District 7 will make it available to your division. Ask for guest access for a look-see inside (requires OPS clearance). Find out more.
