Thank You for Your Support of Southern Utah Devil Pups

An awesome array of incredibly talented Southern Utah Devil Pups, a generous Pizza Factory meal of salad, bread sticks, pizza and drinks, and a totally packed house made 2019 SoUtah Devil Pups Awards Night a huge success!  Lead Liaison Representative Sgt. Billion Johnston, MCL member and trainer for these accomplished pups, led the evening full of fun, certificate presentations for donors, supporters, Eagles and staff as well as an unusually full list of Devil Pup camp award winners.

 Presenting 95 percentile award to Ben Stock

 Commandant Lisi presenting to Jake Jevne, perfect PFT award winner

Perfect PFT score awards to not one, but three Pups: Jake Jevne, Chance Arvig and Sarah Lanter. To make the season even more complete, Dominick Alamares, Christopher Eagar, Ezekiel Gomm, Brian Jauregui and Jaydon Mickelson gave SoUtah Devil Pups an awesome reputation.

Donna Toole, Associate MCL member and CoFounder and SoUtah Devil Pups Coordinator explained the origin of the Col. Toole Cookie Award, and 10 Devil Pups loudly agreed as the special award went to JROTC instructors, CMSgt. Todd Cole of Pine View High School and SMSgt. Morgan Hager of Dixie High School for their continued support of the SoUtah Devil Pup program.   Bill Fortune, MCL member, was on hand to document the evening in photos, along with SUDP staff Jan and Bill Veltkamp, MCL associate members.

Les Covey shared in a "Show and Tell" of the timer he was given for use at the range by Larry Williams of Southern Utah Practical Shooters:

These new Devil Pup graduates appreciate the financial and encouraging support of the SoUtah Practical Shooters, Utah Dixie Detachment #1270 of the Marine Corps League, the Color Country Chapter of D.A.R. and the many individual supporters of our program.  

Guests included Utah Dixie MCL supporters

This year's 10 graduates bring the total of Southern Utah Devil Pups to 103 over its 13 year history.  

 Congratulations, 2019 Devil Pups!

August 10 Breakfast Meeting

Monthly Breakfast Meeting August 10, 0830

The guest speaker will be Kyle Case, CEO of the Huntsman World Senior Games which comes to town in early October.  Senior Vice Commandant Scott McNeal will facilitate the meeting because Marjorie and I have to go on 'holiday' to Quebec City, Canada for a couple of weeks.  

Jon Hinz wants to also remind you to bring your check books so you can purchase your tickets to the Marine Corps Birthday Ball, an event that you most certainly are planning to attend. And as long as you have your checkbook along you can also see Jon about renewing your MCL membership for the year.  All League members' annual dues come due September 1 each year unless you are a PLM (permanent Life Member).
