Happy Birthday, Marine!

 

Marine Corps Birthday

We are all invited to a cake cutting ceremony to honor the Marine Corps birthday tomorrow at noon on the DSU campus.  The location is right outside the Vet's Center which is in the lower level at the Dunford Theater.  If you go please wear your league polo shirt and cover or your color guard uniform.  Bearpaw and I went last time and it was a wonderful ceremony.  Plus the cake was great!  I'll be there to meet Marines and FMF Navy students as candidates for one of our scholarships.

Semper Fi, Pat Lisi

 

Infowest Veterans Day Parade Float

    InfoWest would like to invite any Veterans interested to participate in the upcoming Washington City Veterans Day Parade, set for Thursday, November 11th at 10 am in Washington City along Telegraph. 

    It would be an honor to have 20 - 30 Veterans ride on our company float and bring a smile to our Southern Utah families as we honor the men and women who have served our country! InfoWest will provide the candy to pass to the children along the parade route.

    If you would like to participate and join InfoWest in celebration, please contact Catherine at ccorpus@infowest.com or call 435-674-0165.

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.
