17 May Monthly Meeting

Detachment 1270's monthly meeting will be held this Saturday, May 17, 2025. This is a breakfast meeting, with doors opening at 0800.

This meeting is especially important as it includes the election of your staff officers for the 2025/2026 term. This is your detachment, and your vote helps shape its leadership and future direction—so please make your voice heard!

Looking forward to a great turnout!

Mar 18 VCSU Meeting

As you know, the next Veterans Coalition meeting is set for Tuesday, March 18 at 1 pm at Utah Tech's Holland Building, in the 5th floor Zion Room. This meeting is always set for the third Tuesday of each month at 1 p.m.

If you have anything you want on the agenda, please reply to this email no later than Tuesday at 10 am. Having a solid agenda helps me apportion time appropriately to accommodate our needs within the 1-hour window we have.

To my recollection, we do not have a speaker lined up.

Thanks, David

 

New Veterans Coalition Meeting Location

After careful consideration and weighing the needs of our veterans coalition attendees, I determined that it will be best to conduct future meetings of the Veterans Coalition of Southern Utah at the Utah Tech University. The next meeting is set for Feb. 18 at 1 p.m. Inside the Zion Room of the Holland building. I hope to see you there!

The primary reason for the change is that it is a central location geographically for those who attend our meetings. Another smaller, but I think significant, factor is that we hope that we can get some of the younger veterans more involved, such as the Utah Tech Army ROTC and perhaps some of our younger cadets at the high school level.

I'm working with Karl Watters to again provide a detailed parking plan and for details on a shuttle service for those unable to walk the distance from the parking lot to the Holland Building.

I want to publicly thank the Southern Utah Veterans Home for welcoming us with open arms a couple years ago when we moved meetings to that location. They were great hosts and I hope you take the opportunity to extend a heartfelt thanks to them as well.

In 2026, the plan is to move the coalition to the new City of St. George office building on Main Street. 

Thanks,  David  435-512-1511 (text)
