Your Marine Club News for February 2022

A newsletter from a fellow veterans organization in the Bay Area.

FEBRUARY 2022: MEMORY

It is with heavy hearts that we announce the cancellation of our 2022 Gold Star Parents Honor & Remembrance event, which had been scheduled for this month. Given the recent surge of COVID infections, we just could not ignore the risk of exposing so many to this relentless virus.

We have not given up on keeping alive the memories of our fallen heroes, though! In lieu of the annual Gold Star Parents memorial service that would have taken place on 25 February, the Marines’ Memorial will present a Memorial Video as a scheduled YouTube event. The Video, which has been funded by donor dollars, gives each of us an opportunity to support our Gold Star families…until we meet again.

Please watch your email for a link to the Memorial Video.

Also of note for February:

> MMA offices will be closed for Presidents’ Day, 21 February

> HAPPY 81st BIRTHDAY to the US Coast Guard Reserve!

> PLEASE BE PREPARED: The San Francisco Department of Public Health requires us to verify full vaccination status of all event attendees, as well as those wishing to use our Club’s bar, restaurant, and fitness center. We appreciate your understanding.
