Spring Newsletter (2020)

 

Greetings from the Officers of the Council!

          Over the last year the Council has continued our long history of supporting the active duty and reserve Marine components, as well as our greater Marine community. We continue to sponsor Shooting events, Drill Competitions and Leadership camp participation for our Marine JROTC programs. We continue to sponsor unit level Marine Corps Birthday events and family days to help defer costs for the junior Marines. And, we sponsor various awards that recognize superior performance such as the Community Service awards for members of our reserve units, the Marine and NCO of the year for both our reserve and active component organizations, and recognition awards for our top recruiters from Recruiting Station (RS) within the state. Our most sought after incentive awards remains the Oklahoma City Thunder basketball tickets that we provide to supported unit’s Marines to reward their superior performance.

Our biggest event of the year is always our annual lunch. This year’s luncheon will be held on Friday, the 6th of November 2020, at the Oklahoma City Golf & Country Club located at 7000 NW Grand Blvd., Nichols Hills (same location as last year). More details will follow as we get closer to the luncheon, but I can assure you that we will do our best to honor our Marine Corps and Marines during this the event.    Our overall focus has been, and remains to be, supporting our Oklahoma Marine community and your continued trust and confidence in our efforts allows us to achieve this goal.

Two years ago we introduced our new Council Donor/Sponsorship Program, and the response has been wonderful. Over the years we have been very fortunate to have some very generous and faithful sponsors who have made many of our efforts possible; BancFirst, the Copeland family, Arvest Bank and Tinker Federal Credit Union to mention only a few.  With the incorporation of the Donor/Sponsorship Program we have been able to broaden our financial support base and ensure our stability for the future.  

I know we sent information about the sponsorship program out in last year’s newsletter, but we have received many inquiries about the program following the Birthday luncheon so I have enclosed information about the Donor/Sponsorship Program again in this year’s newsletter and I encourage you all consider supporting this program!  

Semper Fidelis,
