Happy New Year!
May our new year be filled with opportunity and new innovative ideas to continue
to build on our objectives of serving our Marines, Veterans, their families, and our
communities.
We are faced with the continued challenges due to the COVID-19 Virus. We need
to be willing to change our plans to meet the ever-changing situations required due
to this virus. Adapt and overcome!
We all need to think outside the box and share what is working in your home area.
Sharing information and asking questions help all of us. Laughter and smiles go a
long way to keep members working for our goals and objectives. Happy members
are more likely attend and participate.
Our National Newsletter will have a new section in the coming months for questions.
Questions will be referred to the appropriate officer or officers. Each month only five
questions will be addressed. Members can send their questions to
MCLA-Newsletters@nationalmcla.org
