Parent and Pups: Each year we have some thank you's to take care of because of the generosity of our Southern Utah Devil Pup donors. The Marine Corps League pays for 20-25% of our costs each year and some of the Marines provide work to help you earn your $100 contributions toward costs. The D.A.R. local chapter takes care of one pup's expenses - and, as you know, this year the D.A.R. provided awesome goodie bags for the trip to Camp Pendleton.
Our first thank you stop is at the Marine Corps League monthly breakfast meeting on October 12. It is held at the Elks Lodge in St. George and involves a great buffet breakfast at 0830, followed by their meeting at 0900. Parents and pups will have a free breakfast, courtesy of the Marine Corps League Detachment. You will be excused from the meeting after our presentation, as the Marines will then go into their regular monthly meeting activities.
Immediately after our presentation and before you are excused, the Marines will take a break to shake your hands. Please remember to thank each Marine for their support of our program.
You will need to wear your Devil Pup shirts, scarves and caps. We would also like to see your certificates earned at camp, so bring those with you. Please be at the Elks Lodge to meet with Sgt. Johnston at 0815 on October 12 for procedure.
