2010 MCL Utah Department Convention Success!

What a great weekend!  Awesome convention venue (in spite of temps reaching 107 on Saturday), great new Department staff, our own squared away Color Guard posting the colors, interesting guest speakers, awesome food by Chef Jon Braaten of the Abbey Inn and a great time meeting other Marines and spouses and auxiliary members.  Here are some of the photos from the weekend.
