From:   26th Marine Association Board of Directors "26th Marines Association"

Members- Preparations for the 26th Marine Association 2013 St. Louis, Missouri, Reunion are just about finished.  Our 2012 Albuquerque, New Mexico reunion was another super success.  We had great attendance and continued reaching our goal in regards to leaving each year's reunion with the next year's reunion determined as well as three sites selected for the following reunion.

New information will be posted as it develops.  Please check our site www.26thMarines.com,  often for updates as they may occur.  The purpose of this letter is 2013 Reunion Notification and request for dues and other reunion fees, banquet, registration, "friendly incoming", etc.

The fees for this 2013's reunion are as follows:

1. Annual Membership Dues $40.00 per year.

2. Registration fee will be $25.00 per person, members and each member's guest(s).

3. Banquet fee will be $45.00 per person, members and guest(s).

First, the annual membership fee is due to the Secretary by February 22, 2013. (Thanks to you who have already paid!!)  Make checks payable to "26th Marines Association".  All payments received after that date will incur a $10.00 per annum fee.

While the registration and banquet fees are not due until July 15, 2013, if possible, please also submit your registration fees and banquet fees for each person attending, including you, family and friends, as soon as possible.  But again, we will accept the Registration fee and Banquet fee or changes to them, as late as July 15, 2011.  You will notice the banquet fee has increased from $40.00 to $45.00 as discussed and approved at the last annual reunion in 2012.

Remember, the sooner we have a firm count, reservations made, etc., the more smoothly things flow after that.

Sonny will also be including a statement with your dues notice showing any arrears you may have.  Please work with Sonny quickly to work out a deal to bring your arrears up to date.  Remember the financial integrity of our organization depends on our “yearly” dues and you must be up to date on your membership dues to attend the annual meeting.

This notice is being emailed to those members of record during 2013 only.  If you do not need a hard copy, please let Sonny know today.  Hard copies will be mailed out to those needing them.

Of course if you don’t need the hard copy, it will save our organization costs of paper, envelopes, postage, etc.

Please feel free to copy this notice and give or send to anyone you know who may be interested in our Association.  If you have any questions, feel free to contact any of us.

All photos from past reunions have been posted.  You can find references to these on our website www.26thMarines.com.  If you have any you would like included, please forward them to Sonny at sonnyusmc@gmail.com.

¡¡ Thanks and Semper Fi !!
