MARINES:
Welcome to our first monthly newsletter. It is my hope that this publication will communicate the activities of the
Owens/Kennemore Detachment to you in a timely fashion. I will attempt to provide you with a copy of the monthly meeting
agenda, issues to be discussed at the meeting, and any other important information necessary to conduct the business of the
Detachment. Some of this information will come to you as an attachment to this newsletter, so please take the time to open the
attachments and read them.
This newsletter will be sent via email to all members in good standing with a current email address on file with the
Adjutant/Paymaster, John Glover. Please verify that your information is correct. John’s email is: johnglover@charter.net.
I am open to ideas, news articles, suggestions, and anything else that might be of interest to the entire Detachment. Please
forward your information to me at: crbkenrick@charter.net.
I wish to congratulate our Detachment Chaplain, Larry Atkins, on being selected to receive the MARINE of the YEAR award for
2007-08!! Well done and MOST deserving!!
I also wish to congratulate our Jr Past Commandant, Deb White, on being elected to the National Board of Directors of the
Young Marine Program. Deb was elected at the National Convention this month in Las Vegas. This is an honor for her, and our
Detachment.
All of the elected Officers of the Detachment have now been installed. I would like to express my appreciation to each of them,
as well as the appointed Officers, on their willingness to serve the Detachment.
I will be forming numerous committees for the purpose of carrying out and conducting the business of this Detachment. We
stay VERY busy with activities, funerals, ceremonies, and other events throughout the year, and WE NEED HELP!! I will not ask a
hand full of individuals to carry the entire load for this Detachment. YOU should be involved!! I have already appointed
Chairpersons for some of the committees. However, members to serve on these committees need to be identified
IMMEDIATELY. These are: Ceremonial (Bob Briggs); Scholarship (Deb White); Sick (Larry Atkins); Building (Bill Wells); Young
Marines (Deb White); Detachment Web Master (Wayne Stinnett); Events; Socials and Phone Buddy. GET INVOLVED!!!
I look forward to serving you and the Owens/Kennemore Detachment as your Commandant. I will do all that I possibly can to
ensure that this Detachment runs smoothly and that we meet all of our obligations to Marines in this area, BUT I MUST HAVE
YOUR HELP.
Thank you for this opportunity.
GOD Bless the Marine Corps,
And GOD BLESS AMERICA!!!
