4. April 18 Detachment 1267 Picnic (CANCELED) 20200406
To All:
At a time when we all could probably benefit from a little social interaction and kick back a bit, the COVID-19 virus is knocking that possibility off the calendar this year. In keeping with national, state, and local directives, this year's picnic which was originally scheduled to be held on Saturday, April 18th, is hereby canceled. Unfortunately, not a postponement but a straight cancellation.
5. April 20th, 2020 LEADERSHIP SCHOLARSHIP AWARDS PRESENTATION (CANCELED)
As Per Fred Geier, Leadership Scholarship Chairman
At this time, no one can predict where the current Covid-19 crisis is going or how long we will be in this no school, restricted travel, quarantine situation. We do know that currently all our recreation centers and meetings are closed or canceled.At best, any future schedule is now very tentative. In light of this situation and for the safety and wellbeing of all concerned, The Marine Corps League Colonel Phillip C. DeLong Detachment # 1267 is canceling the scheduled award presentation ceremony on 20 April 2020 at 7:00 PM at the Bacall Recreational Center, 2041 Canal Street in The Villages. As much as we would like to present the checks to each of the 2020 Leadership Scholarship recipients in front of our entire membership, we have decided to mail the award checks to each recipient instead. Each of the six 2020 Leadership Scholarship recipients, will receive a $1000 award check to assist them in their future endeavors.
Remember, this 2020 Leadership Scholarship is presented by The Marine Corps League Colonel Phillip C. DeLong Detachment # 1267 and should NOT be confused with other programs.We highly recommend that you also complete the Marine Corps League Scholarship Program application (both State and National) at www.MCLDOF.ORG(Scholarship fund) and www.MCLEAGUE.COM(under MCL Programs -- Then scholarships).

6. April 20th, 2020 Monthly MCL Det 1267 Meeting is (CANCELED) 20200406
To All:
Additionally, our regular monthly Detachment meeting scheduled for Monday, April 20th, is also canceled. The Board of Trustees is working behind the scenes to meet the Detachment's obligations and to keep things moving forward in a responsible and timely manner. An update will be posted on our website in the days following the next Board of Trustees meeting, to be held on Thursday, April 9th.
Finally, we are in the midst of a disastrous time, unprecedented since 1918. Hopefully, many of us will never have to experience this kind of catastrophe again in our lifetimes. But remember this, while we remain physically separated from one another, we stand united as members of a unique brotherhood, and I use this term to encompass one and all. If you or someone you know, as part of this special family, needs a helping hand during this most challenging time, please reach out. It's all about Marines Helping Marines.
Stay safe and be well.

Although we are three weeks away, the prediction for April is not good. The 14th Annual Couples Night Golf Tournament is canceled.
At this time, no one can predict where the current Covid-19 crisis is going or how long we will be in this “stay at home,” restricted travel, quarantine situation.We do know that currently all our recreation centers and meetings are closed or canceled and things are slowly becoming more restricted. At best, any future schedule is now very tentative.In light of this situation, and for the safety and wellbeing of our Marine Corps League membership and our loyal supporters (most over 70 years old), we have cancelled this year’s tournament. My sincere apologies for making this tough decision as we all pray for this Covid-19 pandemic to pass.
Because of this pandemic, all participants are offered the following options:
A complete refund of entry fees paid
An opportunity to donate your PAID entry fees to the MCL Scholarship Fund
Please Email me with your desired option.
In the next few days, I will send out a “Silent Auction” sheet listing all of our donated prizes. Feel free to bid on any item listed. All proceeds will go directly into the Leadership Scholarship Fund.
Thank you for your understanding during these uncertain times. Please be safe!

MARCH
1. March 16th, 2020 MCL Detachment 1267 Monthly Meeting, (CANCELED) 20200314
After much deliberation, I think the wisest and most prudent course of action is to CANCEL our regular monthly meeting which was due to be held this coming Monday, March 16th, 2020.
As a result of our membership’s age group, I feel that any unnecessary exposure would put us all at additional risk.
We will continue to operate behind the scenes via email and telephone contact.
It is my wish that everyone and all your family members remain healthy and hopefully “dodge this bullet”.
Be well, Nathan
