I will attempt to give some ideas as to how to increase the
interest in the
Detachment of the Marine Corps League, and invite Marines
into the League's
membership.
Always carry a copy
of the application blank in your wallet, and whenever
and wherever you
talk to someone and find out that he/she is or has been a member
of United State Marine Corps, the first thing to do is ask them to join
with us, and then have them fill out the blank and remit his/her membership
fee to you.
Upon their coming
to the Detachment's meeting find out what interests
him/her and assign
them a job/task in the Detachment, to keep them interested and in this
way keep their interest and you will have them renew when due.
Plan activities
in your Detachment which will benefit Veterans, members and the
community.
Always work toward anything to do with Veteran's Benefits.
Camaraderie is always
met when having joint ventures with other Detachments
or Veteran's Organizations,
and attending Department (State ) meetings.
Other than the Marine
Corps League please remember that the Military Order
of the Devil Dogs
is affiliated with the MCL and your members can only be asked to participate
by other members. There is no way you can submit an application for this
entry into the elite Devil Dogs. If you are a working member of the
League, and are noticed by Devil Dog members then they can ask you if you
would like to join. The Dogs are the Fun and Honor Society of the Marine
Corps League and are the ones that work toward community projects and promote
money making ventures for the benefit of the Children in various hospitals
wherever the League and Dogs are holding their National Conventions.
If you need more
information please write me at my e-mail address at the end of
these pages.
