17 May VCSU Meeting
Hi everyone, a reminder that we will meet Tuesday, May 17 at 1 p.m. at the American Legion Post 90.
A representative from the Marine Corps League Dixie Detachment will present on their upcoming golf tournament. Golf Tournament Flyer.
If you also wish to have a "speaker" slot — that is, an item that would garner more dialogue than a regular agenda item — I can squeeze in more than one.
For the rest of the agenda items, please get them to me by noon on Monday.
Western Sky Aviation Warbirds Museum
Linked below are flyers with information about events at the Warbirds Museum next week.
Of particular interest to our veterans coalition -- and these are all great events -- is the B-17 and B-25 Meet and Greet. This is for veterans and media only. Great opportunity to view the insides of these vintage airplanes. As a WWII buff, I am super excited for this!
Please contact Rebecca Edwards, whose number is in one of the links below, if you have any questions about these events.

Annual Golf Tourney-Utah Dixie Detachment #1270, Marine Corps League
The mission statement for the Marine Corps League speaks about assisting Marines and veterans from all branches of the military. When that backing is requested, it often comes in the form of dollars OR projects that require dollars to make them happen. To that end Utah Dixie Detachment #1270, Marine Corps League, sponsors an annual golf tournament which is our major source of revenue for the 12 months following the event. We are a 501(c)(3) charitable organization and the distribution of funds is strictly guarded by our Board of Trustees.
This year’s golf tourney will be held June 11 at the Bloomington Country Club, St. George. This is a private course that most golfers around here never get to test their skills at. There is a shotgun start at 8 am and the format is a Scramble. All levels of men and women join us for this event - the main reason to have fun while helping us raise some much-needed cash for our charities. Like what you ask? Here’s a few:
Switchpoint Veterans Program St. George
Elk’s Lodge Veterans Program St. George
Marines Helping Marines Washington county
Marine Corps and Navy Corpsmen Scholarships Dixie State University
Devil Pups Incorporated
Toys For Tots Washington, Iron and Kane County
Sun River Veterans Honor Park (flag replacement program)
St. George Gold Star Family Monument Ancestor Square
Wounded Warrior Barracks Salt Lake City
Veterans Missing in America – Utah Division
Wreaths Across America St. George
Currently, we have some openings for players in the upcoming tournament. The cost is only $125 per person which includes 18 holes of golf, a cart for every 2 people, and a fantastic lunch. There are prizes to win and silent auction items to bid on.
It’s very easy to sign up and pay for play on our website: www.mcl1270.org Or, feel free to call one of us if you have questions. Our chairperson is Michelle Gregory 435 210-1016; Pat Lisi 435 215-3090. We also have T-box signs for sale at $100 which includes the design and printing. Please call our T-sign Chairman to purchase one for your business: Tom Uber 734 516-6559. And, if you are a vendor who wants to put up a tent at one of the T-boxes to advertise your products, you can do so for just $400.
There are hundreds of veterans in Washington County who need our help. Please join us June 11th as we play while we work to service these men and women who served us so valiantly. Thank you and Semper Fidelis.
