Wreaths Across America

Due to a conflict with the Wreaths Across America event on Saturday, December 14th, we need to cancel our Detachment meeting.  We would really love to see as many Detachment  members in their red shirts and covers present to represent our Marine Corps members on this date.

 The St. George presentation of Wreaths Across America will start promptly at 10 am at the Tonaquint Cemetery.  You should plan to arrive close to 9 am in order to secure a parking space.  You are also invited to bring a folding chair if you are uncomfortable standing for about 30-45 minutes.  

After the presentations, you are welcome to place wreaths on graves of military members buried at Tonaquint.  After the Tonaquint remembrance, there will be a police escort to the St. George Cemetery where volunteers will place wreaths on the graves of our Veterans buried there.  Flyer below with more information.

 

Reminders

Due to the various activities this weekend around Veterans Day, we will not have a Saturday Detachment meeting.

Marine Corps Ball Friday night. (Nov. 8) We have over 70 raffle prizes and an amazing Weapon for our Silent Auction.  Remember to bring cash or checks if you want to buy raffle tickets.  Also, the no host bar will be selling alcoholic and non alcoholic beverages.  

We will have Toys for Tots boxes in the lobby should you choose to donate a toy for Christmas cheer to the Washington County children in need.

Doors for the Ball open at 5 pm at the Dixie Convention Center.  We look forward to seeing everyone who has confirmed their attendance.
