As we reflect on the past month (May), I believe we all can
agree it was a busy month, especially for the Golf Committee, chaired by Carl
Kulyk. His committee overcame many
obstacles, some seen, some not. I
believe we had the largest group of golfers to attend a Detachment Golf
Tournament. Carl has agreed that to
accomplish what he and his Committee did required many hands. I would be remiss if I did not extend a
special acknowledgment and congratulations (on Carl's behalf), to the number of
members, as well as to their wives and husbands who went out of their way to
lend a hand in assisting, wherever possible, in the this great effort.
We have other Committees who are now actively engaged,
namely, the Birthday Ball Committee, Awards Committee and the Donation
Committee.
The Birthday Ball Committee is chaired by Pat Lisi and they
have selected a date to hold the Ball.
Guess what date it is – you are correct November 10th. As we get closer to that date, additional
Marines will have to step up and assist when called upon.
Les Covey is the Chairman for the Awards Committee. They have been charged with ensuring that ALL
members are in receipt of their Ribbons and Medals that they have earned while
being in the Marine Corps League and have yet to receive them. Marines are requested to complete the form
that has been made available to them by the Committee. For those that have not received the form, please
check with Larry Mineer.
Gene Gregory chairs the Donation Committee. His committee is quite pleased that they have
now sponsored their first Scholarship recipient. The award is scheduled to be presented at the
July Detachment meeting. Hopefully, in
the near future the Detachment will be able to sponsor additional Scholarships
for worthy candidates.
The Detachment also participated in observing Memorial Day
at the Sun River’s Honor Park. I
received word from Larry that he was pleased with the turn out and
participation. Although he did mention
there were one or two individuals in the ceremony who were a little slack. Must have been those “other” guys.
I plan on representing Dixie Detachment #1270 at the Utah
Department Marine Corps League Meeting which is being held in Sandy, Utah
during the weekend of 6 -7 June. Any and
all Detachment members are invited to attend.
It is only a few hundred miles away.
Give me a call if you are interested.
D'Arcy E. Grisier
Commandant
