This month is nominations for Officers for 2012.  The Commandant has appointed the following to the nominating committee:  Bob Vice, Tom Duncan and John Ruley.  If you want to run for office, see any of those on the committee.

   I’ve printed up fifty flyers for the purpose of placing them on cars that have Marine Corps stickers on them.  We need to get new members and this may be one way to do it.  See me to get some of these flyers and carry them with you. 

     I attended a Memorial Day Committee meeting at the National Cemetery and Memorial Day will be on May 28^th, which is a Monday. Ceremony will start at 1100 hours and we have been asked to fire the volleys. It looks like we will have 6 or 7 in the firing detail, which is outstanding.   Guest speaker this year will be LtGen Carol Mutter, USMC/Ret. and Sgt Glenn Johnson will play Taps again. 

     Spring Conference will be at the Quality Inn & Suites on E. Lincoln Road, Kokomo.  I hope to see a lot of the “Dogs” from Pound #260 there.

     As soon as we get our license for the raffle, we can start selling raffle tickets for the M1 Garand.

    For Your Info….For anyone that didn’t know, the only thing that is supposed to be on our “Red League Jackets”, is our detachment logo.  There is not to be any names or patches on them.  The purpose being so that we would all look the same.

The Gunny,
