To All my Friends and Family, I'm a member of the Marine Corps League here in Asheville, NC and we raffle off a Rifle each year, which is our main method of raising funds to help our Veterans, we are a "Veterans Service Organization" we donate money each year to the Veterans Organizations that help Veterans, Men's Veteran's Quarters', Womens Veterans Quarters, Toys for Tots, Manna Food Bank, we keep the VA Hospital supplied with snacks to help the Vets being treated at the VA. So we need your help to help the veterans.
So this year we are raffling the Rifle as 1st Prize, and a 2nd Price of $1000.00 dollars, so please help buy purchasing a ticket or two, or however many you want. Please go to https://ashevillemcl.org/raffle to purchase your tickets the drawing will be held on December 17th, 2023, you do not need to present to win, the rifle can be delivered to you anywhere in the US. When you are filling out the info when you are purchasing a ticket a good phone number and e-mail address is very important. Please share this with your friends, co-workers, family, etc. Please help us get the word out. The winner of the Rifle can take the rifle or the cash equivalent of $1318.00, and 2nd place is $1000.00. Just think of how that will help two lucky people just before Christmas. Please Spread the Word! From all of our members at Detachment 1417 Marine Corps League of Asheville, God Bless You and Thank You for your support "Merry Christmas!"

A few photos from our Birthday Ball on Friday evening. We had a wonderful time. We also had some very special guests, the "CaliforniaPosse", a group of Marines who served together at Camp Pendleton back in the 1990's. They gathered in Asheville for a reunion and celebrated our Marine Corps Birthday with us. A special thank you to all of our volunteers who worked so hard to put this all together!

Tonight we had a great turnout for our Detachment meeting. We had 10 Marines and and 6 Associates on deck. Collectively we need to keep it up and keep reaching out to our members who haven't been to a meeting in a while. Thank you to all of you who attended tonight.I know there was some tough discussions we had to have. But, we all got through it and everyone left in good spirits and that was the biggest plus of it all. The discussions were civil and even though some folks didn't necessarily agree or support the business as discussed, the majority voted and we all left on good terms. You all are to be commended for that!
Semper Fidelis!
