The Detachment meets every third Tuesday of the month at 1900 Hours (7:00 PM)

Meeting location is the Natick Amvets Post 79, 1 Superior Drive Natick MA 01760

Administrative Notes: Annual dues of $30.00 for regular members are due by August 31.  As late payment creates paperwork for the Paymaster, members are encouraged to make payment on time.  Life membership is a convenient and cost - effective way to handle dues.  Information on life membership can be obtained via the Paymaster.

From the Commandant:

January 2022

January 1, 1968, 54 years ago, was the year of the Monkey for some of us.  We celebrated by keeping our heads down for the next year. We lost friends we had just made in the Marine Corps in Viet Nam. I will never forget New Year's Day 1968. Some of my fellow young Marines never got the chance to fall in love, get married, become parents, go to college, find a career, or watch their kids grow up. Never forget these Marines. They are in my memory and dreams every day.

At the January 18 and February 15 meetings, the detachment will be collecting socks for needy and homeless Vets. Bring new socks to the meeting in January and February.  Socks are one of the most highly requested items for these veterans and your donations will go a long way to give them some comfort.

Warren has sent out another letter to delinquent regular members.  Please be prepared to pay your dues of $30.00 on time, prior to August 31.  Life membership is a good way to meet this need once and for all. 

After the meeting on January 18, we will try our skills at target shooting with pellet pistols in the AMVETS hall.  We will see if we still remember what we learned in the Corps!  This will be an enjoyable and memorable experience, and all are encouraged to attend and participate. 

With the ongoing COVID pandemic and recent increases due to the Omicron variant, we will encourage social distancing and wearing of a mask during meetings.  This disease continues to persist so please get vaccinated and boosted if you haven’t already.  The VA and other locations offer vaccines.

To help with planning, please make note of the meeting dates for 2022:  18 January: 15 February: 15 March:  19 April:  17 May: 21 June: (no meetings in July and August):  20 September: 18 October:
15 November:  20 December.  

Meetings are held at 1900 Hrs at the Natick AMVETS, 1 Superior Drive, Natick, MA 01760
