January 2012: Happy New Year, Leathernecks. Our next growl is Wednesday, 11 January, 7pm at Conastoga's. If you have any members in your detachment that you think would make good Pound members, bring them along.
Two upcoming opportunities:
20 January (Friday) - trip to Blount Island. Have to meet in Baldwin (I-10 and US301) at the truck stop at 0800 and we will convoy in from there. To confirm you will go, or for information, contact PDD Dale Condy.
8-11 March (Th-Sun): The annual NHRA Gatornationals (national drag racing event) comes to Gainesville. Gator Detachment is working with EKG Security to provide volunteers for the security. No security experience necessary. Shifts are typically 9 to 11 hours long. Security company compensates your organization $8 per hour for your time. Members working on behalf of Pound 299 will get the compensation donated to Pound 299. People can request to work together. Two people working a 10-hour day will get the Pound a $160 donation. Think about it. ** To volunteer or for more info, contact PDD Scott DuPree.
