Marine Night

We're going to try and meet some Marines.

MARINE NIGHT FLYER

Monthly Meetings Will Meet at American Legion Building

Today's meeting (14 May 2022) at the Elks Lodge was our last one there.  From this day forward we will be meeting at the American Legion Post 90 building, also known as the St. George Community Building, located behind the St. George Senior Center at 245 N 200 W.  It's a great facility with  plenty of room.  We will have to set up and take down tables if we use them, and chairs, but that's why we get the hall for free!  

The June 4 meeting is also the Department of Utah's annual conference, so plan to be there from 0830 to 2:30 p.m.  We will have lunch during the meeting - probably pizzas.

The next detachment meeting will be June 4th.  That's because the detachment golf tournament falls on our normal meeting date.

May 28 Detachment Picnic

Detachment picnic at at Mathis Park Pavilion, 1820 W Mathis Park Pl, St. George.  May 28.  Noon to 4 p.m.

Hot dogs and burgers (and bottled water) will be provided but we need others to bring foods that go along with them, like baked beans, salad and dessert. 

In case seating is limited, bring a folding camp chair.  

 

2022 Annual Golf Tournament

The mission statement for the Marine Corps League speaks about assisting Marines and veterans from all branches of the military.  When that backing is requested, it often comes in the form of dollars OR projects that require dollars to make them happen.  To that end Utah Dixie Detachment #1270, Marine Corps League, sponsors an annual golf tournament which is our major source of revenue for the 12 months following the event.  We are a 501(c)(3) charitable organization and the distribution of funds is strictly guarded by our Board of Trustees.

This year’s golf tourney will be held June 11 at the Bloomington Country Club, St. George.  This is a private course that most golfers around here never get to test their skills at.  There is a shotgun start at 8 am and the format is a Scramble.  All levels of men and women join us for this event - the main reason to have fun while helping us raise some much-needed cash for our charities.  Like what you ask?  Here’s a few:

Wreaths Across America St. George

Currently, we have some openings for players in the upcoming tournament.  The cost is only $125 per person which includes 18 holes of golf, a cart for every 2 people, and a fantastic lunch.  There are prizes to win and silent auction items to bid on. 

It’s very easy to sign up and pay for play on our website: www.mcl1270.org Or, feel free to call one of us if you have questions.  Our chairperson is Michelle Gregory 435 210-1016; Pat Lisi 435 215-3090.  We also have T-box signs for sale at $100 which includes the design and printing.  Please call our T-sign Chairman to purchase one for your business: Tom Uber  734 516-6559.  And, if you are a vendor who wants to put up a tent at one of the T-boxes to advertise your products, you can do so for just $400.  

There are hundreds of veterans in Washington County who need our help.  Please join us June 11th as we play while we work to service these men and women who served us so valiantly.  Thank you and Semper Fidelis.
