Fellow Marines, We are a hard working group of U.S. Marines with a current membership of about 250. We work a weekly state-regulated bingo game to help raise funds for our hall and activities. We are known throughout our community and have a color guard that has presented the Colors at many events across the metropolitan area. Additionally, we recently hold a flag resting ceremonies for area school children, and make regular visits to the War Veterans Home in Reserve, LA.
We are deeply involved with the local Marine Corps Reserve unit by providing our meeting hall for distribution of "Toys for Tots" each December. We travel to schools and distribute invitations to all kids to join us and receive a toy. Last year we entertained approximately 1,200 kids and plan on doing the same this year on December 14, 2013.
With the funds generated from our bingo games, and generous outside donors, we sponsor a scholarship program for the children and grandchildren of Marine Veterans.
We donate heavily to the National Wounded Warriors program.
We support a local Young Marines program, and generally help many other charities.
Please join us at our monthly meetings. We serve a scrumptious dinner for $3 at 1830, with a business meeting afterwards.
