Commandants Corner

Greetings Marines,  

​

       Hope you are all doing the best as can be expected.  Seems the Coronavirus pandemic is over every source of news.  The world will get through this.  We need to have faith and work together to overcome this pandemic and get back to normal.

      At our last meeting, a new member was brought on board,  Brice Liksay.  Welcome Brice!

      In reports of the standing committees:  Marine Corps Coordinating Council rep. John Stofiel gave a newsy report of the council.  Veterans Affairs Voluntary Services - Rex Hopper reported that the shuttle drivers will not be providing shuttle services for vets until further notice because of the coronavirus.  That is very sad because the service is greatly appreciated by the disabled vets.                       

     Please keep Caroline Ruhmshottel and her family in your thoughts and prayers as we all morn the loss of Phil.  He will be sorely missed.

     It is great to have John Stofiel back home from the hospital and recuperating from pneumonia.  Get well!

     I am asking that you all go out and recruit new members.  We have cards available with detachment meeting times and information.

     Due to the virus, the date of our next meeting is pending.

Stay safe, stay healthy!                               

Semper Fi,

Lynn Bolte,  Commandant
