Mighty Fine Marines

Here's a blast from the past - some mighty fine Marines.  Photo believed to be from a 2010 or 2012 event.  Date is not relevant.

October and November Detachment Meetings

The next detachment meeting will be Saturday October 9th, and the November meeting will be on the first Saturday, November 6.  That's because the Marine Corps Birthday Ball is on the 13th which would have been our meeting date.  Please mark your calendars accordingly.  

Our speaker in October is Pam Curtis who will fill in the blanks as to this year's Toys For Tots.  Valerie King will also come in to talk about Wreaths Across America. If you want to bring any refreshments or snacks to supplement the donuts, please feel free to do so.  The doors open at 0830 and the meeting will start at 9.  See you there - Semper Fi.

Tickets Available for Marine Corps Birthday Ball

Michelle Gregory is selling tickets for the Marine Corps Birthday Ball coming up November 13 at the Dixie Convention Center.  We haven't hosted a Ball since November 2019 so this promises to be a very good one.  You are encouraged to make your reservations for the Ball online at www.MCL1270.com, but Michelle will also have physical tickets at the Detachment meetings.  They are $40 this year. 

2021 Detachment Picnic

The Detachment Annual Picnic is next Saturday, May 29, starting at noon.  The location is Mathis Park located at 1820 W Mathis Park Pl, St. George.  Lunch is catered by Marine KcKenzie Utter; a $4 donation is requested.  Bring your own beverages.  Semper Fi! 

Ironman

Marines - The Ironman Event is coming up soon and there is still plenty of room for volunteers to sign up to help out at various stations along the routes.  I know some of you did this the last time and are probably anxious to get involved again this year.  Here is a link to the Ironman site.  If you scroll down a bit in there you will see the Volunteer link.  The Ironman management thanks you in advance:
