About the LASHUP 16
Now that summer is over, we’ll be slowing down on the activities. As you can
see from the calendars, we only had five items on September’s versus the 12 in
August and 11 in July. But we do have a couple of important items coming up in
the next couple of months, especially November. In October, we have the gun show at the Bel Air American Legion. I will need
some of you to volunteer to man the table and sell raffle tickets for the M1. We
also have bingo again on the 23rd of October. Don Benson has volunteered to
provide the special this time.
In November, we will be performing a cake cutting ceremony at Oak Crest
retirement center on the 11th. We have done this several times over the years and after not having us last year, they realized that their Marine veterans and
staff missed having it and invited us back. We will also be raising the Marine
Corps flag at the Harford County government building on the Marine Corps
birthday as we always do. Another thing we are going to add this year is a
simple cake cutting ceremony for the detachment on the Marine Corps birthday.
Please join us in the VFW lounge at 1830 (6:30 pm) on the 10th of November.
We will read the Commandant’s birthday message, cut the cake and just have
some fun sitting and sharing stories. I encourage everyone to come and bring
friends and family. Hopefully, we can start our own Birthday tradition.
November 8th is the Toys for Tots benefit concert featuring Great Train Robbery.
I hope to get full support from the detachment by either helping out with the
logistics or purchasing tickets to attend. This is a great way to raise toys and
funds for the Harford County campaign. If you would like to volunteer to help out, please contact Art Shellhouse at [email protected] or
