A Message From the Commandant:
Marines and Detachment Supporters,
By
the time you receive this, the pods for Toys for Tots will have been delivered
to the Marines to be prepared for distribution. Since the founding of this detachment, we have risen to the occasion to collect toys and donations for this campaign. We extend a huge thank you to all who helped this worthy cause,
especially Rick Douglas and Chip Fagan who were the Toys for Tots coordinators. Rick and Chip have again pulled off a successful campaign.
The detachment again participated in collecting for Toys for Tots at the Natick events on the Town Common. This event was very different this year because of Covid. There were no toys
and kids got balloons and they were not able to sit with Santa. Nonetheless, Santa
did show up to say hi. The Young Marines under the leadership of Amy
Fagan were a great help, always polite and courteous to all the people that
attended the event. These young people are a credit to their program and
its leadership.
At this time of year
we must all reflect on the past two years of dealing with Covid and its
variants. It has taken a toll on all of our respective committees and our
own families. Some of us have had family members and friends hospitalized
and die from this awful virus. As we celebrate Christmas and the New
Year, remember those who are no longer with us and be thankful for those who
are with us.
Let
us pray for a healthy and prosperous New Year.
The Metrowest Detachment will meet on Tuesday, 21 December at 7:00 PM at the Natick AMVETS. Please bring some Christmas cookies to share. We look forward to seeing you there.
Thank you,
Merry Christmas and
a Happy New Year
Mac
