MCL - Northeast Division Conference Update | Department Banquet | 22 A Day - Challenge 22 Fundraiser

Marine Corps League - Department of New York E-Blast In this e-blast: Northeast Division Conference Update Department Banquet 22 A Day - Challenge 22 Fundraiser Upcoming Deadlines Upcoming Events Northeast Division Conference Update I am writing to you with an update to the current situation regarding our upcoming Northeast Division Conference.   Our agenda is almost complete. We are waiting to hear from our guest speaker who should be confirming this week.   That said, the Ad Book is in good shape and being organized and prepared for print.   The best news is that the Governor of the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania has just announced that restrictions regarding the number of attendees for indoor and outdoor events will be lifted ahead of Memorial Day.  Keep in mind that you MUST STILL WEAR A MASK !     We are very fortunate to be receiving this news now, especially when we are so close to the event date.   I also need to report to you that at the present time, we only have 44 Room nights booked so far. Our Contract is for 80 nights, and we need to occupy 80% or 64 nights. If we fail to hit this mark, we as a Division will be responsible for paying for those unused rooms; which will deplete any gains for future funding that we would otherwise rely on.   That said, it is imperative to reach out to your Department Officers, Detachment Officers and the members who are motivated to learn more about the League.  This is a wonderful opportunity to network and meet other Marines from around the Division in camaraderie and fellowship.   Semper Fi,    Michael John Waluk NVC Northeast Division For Conference Information please visit: https://nedmcl.org/division/2021-ned-conference/ Department Banquet NOTICE: If anyone who is attending the Department Convention Banquet and has special dietary needs, please email the Adjutant at spt1@mclwestchester.org with the specifics. We will pass that information on to the caterers. REMINDER: 10 Days left to RSVP for the Department Convention Banquet!!
