May Meeting Notes:

The meeting was convened at 7:00 with all officers present.  With the lack of a quorum, the meeting was conducted informally, following usual format.

The report of the Paymaster was read and accepted.   The detachment is in good financial shape and the tax status has been correctly updated. Note that dues must be paid in full prior to
1 September.  Please insure that this is attended to as the national system is date sensitive.

Golf Committee:

Planning for the golf tournament continues.  Sign up for teams is progressing.  All members are encouraged to seek prizes and advertisements, recognizing that many merchants and vendors will be hard pressed to contribute due to COVID impacts on business.  Regular golf committee meetings will begin in June and continue until the tournament.  
It was decided to sponsor a tee sign for the Shutt Detachment golf tournament that is upcoming.

Eagle Scout Support:

Al Schiff reports that activity has been slow due to the impact of COVID on the ability of troops to hold meetings.  Al's grandson will be awarded the Eagle Scout rank and it was approved that he be recognized by the detachment.

Upcoming Events:

Commandant MacEntegart has arranged for attendance at the Armor Museum in Stowe.  Details will be forthcoming.

The 25th Marines will be conducting a battalion sized event on 17 June for which the MCL has been asked to provide refreshments.  There is connection with a vendor who will provide pulled pork sandwiches and associated dishes.  Funding will be sought to provide side dishes and condiments.

Upcoming Memorial Day events were discussed.  Natick, Framingham, and Bellingham observations were discussed.  

The next meeting will be on 16 June at 7:00 PM at the Natick Amvets.  Members are encouraged to attend and to work at identifying and inviting new members.
