Holiday Greetings

Marines, Associates & fellow Veterans, The 2018 Marine Corps Birthday Ball is quickly approaching sorry to tell you that if you don’t have your ticket you need to see Norm Honadle and get put on the waiting list, yes, we are sold out and have been. This year is the earliest we have been sold out. If you are not fortunate to get tickets remember the pre-ball activities at the Leatherneck Club on Friday November 9th. This year we expect a large crowd as usual, General Paxton and General Bedard will arrive at approx. 1630 hrs. by Limousine from the Orleans. We will have our ceremonial Birthday Cake cutting ceremony at 1730 hrs. and remarks from our guest of honor. Parking will be limited at the Leatherneck Club parking lot since we take up most of the lot for our celebration you may use the Macy’s lot across Arville, please be careful crossing we don’t want anyone injured. We can still use Raffle prizes for the Ball and silent Auctions that we hold. All monies that we raise go to local charities Reminder about dues if you have not paid see Lee Anne Bylund so that we can get you current. We had over 40 members at our August meeting a great showing, bring a fellow Marine to our meetings. Remember: “ONCE A MARINE ALWAYS A MARINE” We need your support. Nominations for Officers for 2019 will continue at our September Meeting you are interested in running for office please let one of the Officers know and we can instruct you on how to get nominated and run for office. See you on Sept. 25 at 1900 hrs. Reminder: Free Chow!!!! SEMPER FI, Dan O’Connell
