Minutes of the Detachment meeting on 9 February 2010 at 1900 held at the Hilton Inn in

Southern Shores, N.C.

The Marine Corps League--Outer Banks Detachment #1264 meeting on 9 Feb 2010 met

at the Hilton Inn as The Pitts Center was undergoing some minor electrical

construction. When members arrived on 9 Feb. 2010, we discovered this. The Marine

Corps League Detachment #1264 was able to adapt and overcome as we need to give

many thanks to our Public Affairs Officer Kevin Wescott, who was able to secure us a

great meeting area at the Hilton just down the street.

In Attendance were:

John E. Jumet

Robert Messinger Paymaster

Dean Doc Tyler Adjutant

Kelly Chamberlain Commandant

Robert J. Yanacek Jr. Vice Commandant Web Sergeant

Tim Gregory Sr. Vice Commandant

Pat Riley

Doug Wendling Judge Advocate

Kevin Wescott Public Affairs Officer

Ken Koci VISITOR--------------OOOORAHH!!!!

The Marine Corps League Detachment #1264 meeting was opened by Commandant

Kelly Chamberlain at 1900. Temporary Sergeant-At-Arms Robert Yanacek secured the

quarters, posted the colors, and led Detachment #1264 in the Pledge of Allegiance as

instructed by Commandant Chamberlain.

At this time Commandant Chamberlain requested Judge Advocate Doug Wendling to

conduct the opening prayer after he requested the men of Detachment #1264 to remember

a fallen veteran brother, John Murtha who was a Democratic Representative from

Pennsylvania serving in Washington but served first in Vietnam and was a Decorated

Veteran who passed away recently.

Commandant Chamberlain requested a report on old business at this point of the meeting.

Commandant Kelly announced the monthly meeting minutes had been posted on the web

by Adjutant Tyler. Commandant Kelly asked everyone if they were satisfied with the

minutes and the way they were presented. No complaints were voiced.

At this time Commandant Kelly ask Bob Messinger for a financial report.

Paymaster Messinger begins his financial report by informing Detachment #1264, we

have our Detachment checking account with Southern Bank, which is a local Bank and

not with Bank of America. The reason for changing banks was because Bank of America

was charging us fees for things we were not using and they would not void any of these

fees for Marine Corps League. Bob reported on Outer Banks Detachment #1264 finances

as of the end of January 2010(since we do not publish financial records on the website, it

was emphasized that detachment financial reports are open for review by any member

upon request).

All members of Detachment #1264 who were present and accounted for were presented

with very nice Marine Corps League Outer Banks Detachment #1264 name tags by Judge

Advocate Doug Wendling. These are to be worn over the right pocket of the shirt.

Thank You Judge Advocate Sir!

Commandant Chamberlain requested Paymaster Bob Messinger to speak about the

Detachment goals and jobs for members to sign up for in 2010. Below is a partial list of
