Oak Harbor Area Council of the Navy League is a group of civilians who meet monthly in support of the women and men of the sea services. A SPECIAL WELCOME is extended to military related families and those new to the area and includes an invitation to join us.
We enhance the morale of
sea service personnel and

We provide a powerful voice to educate the public and Congress

We support youth through programs that expose young people to the value of our sea services.
