Greetings Davis Squadron,
We just reported the results from our Pete Freeman Scholarship session. See the broadcast email from our Treasurer and Communications Officer update on this site. Under the guidance of the XO, and support from our Treasurer, Cols Kraft, Gillan, and Franklin, and MGySgt McCutcheon have been hitting it hard all summer, reviewing over twenty applicant submissions. Their efforts were nothing short of exceptional and we thank them for their diligence.
Last July, we disclosed our financial status to our Board of Directors and to MCAA National. BLUF: The Davis Squadron remains quite healthy and solvent, thanks, largely to our generous members and corporate sponsors. We aspire to be good stewards of our sponsor and members’ remitted donations and administration fees. We intend to continue that while seeking new ways to contribute to the benefit of our members, our Aviation Logistics Community of Interest, and the mission of the Marine Corps Aviation Association.
We are in the planning phases for our 2024 reunion in Myrtle Beach, SC. Rob (CommO), together with Brent (Adjutant) and Gale (Treasurer) finished the reconnaissance of suitable venues. As previously reported, we’ll be gathering at the Hilton’s Embassy Suites from 14-17 March 2024. Details covering the schedule, events and cost will be forthcoming in our reunion package. Details will also be available in our October AVLOG Sentinel newsletter.
Additionally, I wanted to thank all who stepped up at our last reunion. As is typical with all Marines and spouses/partners, we just took charge. Hopefully, that’ll continue in Myrtle Beach. The officers and board cannot do it all. If you’re willing to lend a hand with registration, the silent auction, raffle, and banquet setup, please indicate that in your reunion packet submission.
Sponsors are the lifeblood of our squadron. If you are aware of, or part of any corporation or business that might willing to be part of our tremendous efforts, let us know. We have brochures and sponsor request documentation that can assist in any solicitation you may be making.
Nuff said! Our efforts going forward are squarely focused on issuing checks to 22 Freeman Scholarship Program recipients and piecing together the 2024 Davis Squadron reunion. Thank you to our officers who hit the ground running and continue to do great things for our community. Again, I thank each one of you. Remember, this is your organization. We need a full team to maintain our tremendous momentum.
