The Department Marine of the Year will be selected in JUNE, although the convention has been postponed, until October.

Department Raffle

Due to the COVID-19 pandemic, many Detachment activities have been put on hold. Many members have not been able to participate in the annual Department Raffle. It has been decided that the drawing will be held at Department Convention set for1st, 2nd and 3rd, October 2020. By doing this, as this pandemic passes, we are hoping that everyone will have more time to participate in the Department Raffle.

Each Detachment is entitled to a 20% Commission per ticket ($2.00). Please take your share of the ticket sales before returning to our Raffle Chairman, Marine Tina Olsen. You can send the sold ticket stubs, and the Department share of the proceeds to:

Notice of Death

The Department is requesting, if a member passes as a result of the COVID-19, please notate that on the "Notice of Death" and in your email. The Chaplain will be collecting the names, so we can properly recognize our members who pass as a result of this virus.
From National Headquarters: Detachment Named In Honor Of

Marines,

Please pass to your detachments.

We started another segment to the magazine as a tribute to detachments. In each issue of Semper Fi, we would like to know more about a detachment’s namesake. There are so many really cool detachment names in our League and our readers may not know what was special about the person that moved the detachment to honor their name.

We are looking for about 400 words, photos are great (high resolution), professional background, personal stories, etc.

If we are flooded with them, we would use more than one per issue. Presently, only a couple have been submitted.

The next one will be needed not later than July 17, 2020.

This is certainly not a mandate. Just a good opportunity to tell a story in honor of the person your detachment is named after.
