American Legion - National Commander's Dinner April 8, 2022, at Anton's Queens

A MESSAGE FROM THE NEW YORK DEPARTMENT ADJUTANT

James W. Casey

 

 Post Commanders:

 

          Just a brief note to let you know where we are at with the National Commanders visit to the downstate area on April 8^th, 2022. Anton’s Catering Hall has been secured for the evening and the setup will be similar to the way it has been in previous years. We will have seating for 600 people at tables of 10, the Cocktail hour will start at 7PM and conclude at 8PM. There may be a change in the Program resulting in a short delay in dinner serving, we are working that out with the staff at Anton’s. I have received several minor complaints over the years that dinner was too soon after the Cocktail hour. We are making an effort to adjust that, if possible. I will keep you informed of the final decision when it is made.

 

       The cost of the dinner will be $70.00PP, the price has remained constant the past few years and with rising food and employee costs I thought it would be prudent to increase it at this time. The dress for gentlemen at dinner will remain the same as always, suit and tie for table guests and black tuxedos with black accessories (tie & vest) for dais guests. I really shouldn’t have to say this but ……. NO SHORTS, TEE SHIRTS, SANDALS OR SNEAKERS THAT LOOK LIKE SHOES. With the sudden drop in Covid-19 variant cases across the State I am very hopeful of a significant decrease in our ‘restrictions and a return to normalcy in our day-to-day activities.

Please have your payments made payable to: 

Bronx County Organization Inc.

The point of contact for questions will be:

Peter Del-Debbio, (914) 760-2588 

Bronxcountyalny@gmail.com and/or

Colleen McCarthy, (917) 445-0961

Please share this email as widely as possible amongst your members.

Respectfully,

Peter Del-Debbio

MCL - Northeast Division Conference

Northeast Division Conference

Greetings Marines and Associates of the Department of NY,

With all that has been going on, I know our lives have been turned upside down in a myriad of ways.  We've already had a Department meeting rescheduled, the COVID restrictions still have many of us on edge and we are all still trying to find ways to move forward.

That said, we continue with the mission at hand.  By now, many of you have seen that we are getting ready for two National events; the Midwinter Conference and the Northeast Division Conference, both of which have been posted on the Department's web site.

Of course it is with hopes that we get as many Marines and Associates to attend these events, but if it's not possible, I am hoping that we can show our support if your are not able to attend.  

To that end, I want to personally invite you to attend the Northeast Division Conference which will be held on April1-2, 2022 at the Crowne Plaza Princeton in Plainsboro, NJ.  Our honored guests will include Colonel Philip Ash, Commanding Officer of the 1st Marine Corps Recruiting District out of Garden City, NY as well as MCL National Commandant Johnny Baker and Executive Director/Chief Operations Officer Bob Borka.  They will be on hand for a presentation and to answer your League related questions.

I hope this gets you excited and maybe even think about attending!  If not, there are other ways to show the Division that you are in support of what we do as a driving force in the League.

For your consideration, I am attaching the Division's Letter of Invitation and Ad Contract Form.  

Please consider supporting us by placing the size ad of your Detachment's choosing.  We do better when we support one another.

If I don't see you at either of the two aforementioned events, I look forward to seeing you at the Department of NY Convention!  Always one of my favorite events!

Semper Fi,

Michael John Waluk
