"Supporting Marine Corps Community in Washington State"
MCSG BOD Meeting Minutes
Congratulations! You have found your way to the new website of the United States Marine Corps Support Group. We are a non-profit foundation based out of Seattle, WA that provides service to both active duty Marines in the Puget Sound area, their families, and Marine Veterans. Please read more about us to find out what we're all about.
Our next meeting will be a brunch held on Saturday, 16 January 2010, commencing at 1100 hrs at the Holiday Inn, Renton, WA. The address is 1 South Grady Way, Renton, WA and is located at the junction of WA Hwy 167 & I 405. Further directions can be obtained by calling the Holiday Inn at 425.226.7700. Our featured speaker is USMC Support Group Member, Col George Flood USMC (Ret). His topic will, form a historical perspective, focus on the political and social complexities of Iraq and its neighbors with ideas as to possible positions the U. S. might take in the future.
This past year featured an array of outstanding speakers from the USMC and the Navy. In November our Birthday Luncheon celebrated Marines both young and old. I anticipate that our first brunch of 2010 will continue the tradition of excellence from 2009. With this in mind I encourage everyone to contact me early with your attendance request at tomtomfohr@aol.com or 253.631.1945.
On 3 September 2009, several of our board members attended the UW NROTC Open House at the renovated Clark Hall on the UW Campus. Board members Tom Tomfohr, Chris Tibbs, Skosh T. Yorita, and Ed Doyne are pictured with 2ndLt Morgan Wiggin who is the recipient of the 2009 Outstanding Marine Officer Graduate Sword and SSgt Christopher Johnson, the recipient of the LtCol Richard Bianchino MECEP Book Scholarship for Summer Quarter. Maj Arthur Crowe, Marine Officer Instructor, presented the awards on behalf of the Support Group and Vince and Celine Santiago (The Sponsors of the Bianchino Award). These awards are an example of the SUPPORT we provide to Washington Marines!
