Additional Information:

Meeting location: Our Detachment is based in Wilmington, NC, where we meet at VFW Post 2573 located at 2722 Carolina Beach Road, on the first Tuesday of every month. We invite any MCL member to join us at our meetings whenever they are in town on vacation. Our current membership is 133 strong. Monthly meetings attract about 50-60 members and guests. A meal is served before the program begins.

Monthly meeting programs: The detachment has an active speaker program. At each monthly meeting there is a guest speaker, the majority of whom are from Camp Lejeune. Recent speakers have included the Commanding Officer of Camp Lejeune, the Commanding Officer of the Marine Corps Air Station at New River, a senior staff NCO from the Camp Lejeune Scout Sniper School, and two staff NCO's from the School of Infantry. Future speakers will discuss the Osprey and the Marine Corps Special Operations Command. Occasionally, speakers from the community will talk about current events or their organizations.

Toys For Tots: Our Detachment is very active in the Toys for Tots program, and has completed its distribution of a record number of toys to a record number of children for the 2009 Christmas season.
