MAY 2020     MMA EVENT CALENDAR

This MonthTHANK YOU! Recently, we sent out the call requesting emergency contributions to help us weather this incredibly difficult and uncertain storm. In true Marines’ Memorial fashion, so many of you answered the call. We were overwhelmed by the loyalty and generosity of our friends, supporters, and members.

As we approach Memorial Day, our commmitment to be “a tribute to those who have gone before; and a service to those who carry on” — the same commitment we made almost 75 year ago — stands strong.

If you didn’t get the chance to make a gift and are able to, please CLICK HERE.

We wish you and your loved ones good health!

Let Us Hear from You!

As we shelter in place, many of us are doing our best to “make lemonade,” tackling home projects, getting back to hobbies we’ve missed, or embarking on new learning adventures. A 95-year-old we know has become a whiz at Zoom so she can see her great grandchildren. How about you? What are you doing to stay sane, entertained, productive, and socially connected?

May is National Military Appreciation Month

As we write this, we do not yet know what the rest of this month will bring. On 25 May, each of us will observe Memorial Day in our own way, whether or not we are able to gather. As part of the monthlong celebration of US service members past and present, the Combined Federal Campaign has a special fundraising drive that lasts through 3 June. You can donate to Marines’ Memorial Foundation through the CFC.

New Members: Another Great Idea for Gift Certificates

At the beginning of March, we launched our 2020 Membership Drive, with a goal of 250 new members by 30 June. While many things have changed, one has not: the outstanding longterm value of a Marines’ Memorial membership. Consider helping a veteran you know to make the decision to join by gifting them their first year of membership! Gift certificates are available now by phone, and an online purchase option is coming soon.

Buying a gift certificate for a Hotel Stay in the future is also a great way to feed your optimism for better times ahead. Likewise for booking a future hotel stay. We understand the situation is fluid and we will be flexible with any needed reservation changes.
