Department Quarterly Meeting

On January 10, 2009, a Marine Corps League Department of Maryland quarterly meeting was held at the Ellicott Mills Brewing Company in Historic Ellicott City. Our own SSgt Karl G. Taylor, Sr. Unit 444 Auxiliary provided the donuts. About 60 Marines met upstairs in this old hardware and lumber store which was converted to a bar and restaurant. See Commandant Chuck leaving the building below.
       
From our detachment, the following were present: Mike Betts, Frank "Kip" Kippenbrock, Bill Brooks, Bill Pastino, Joe Roman, Chuck Casey, Danny Rotondo, and Saki. Marines present who are members of other detachments as well as our own include Ron Short, Jack Severn, and Jerry Fay.

Mike Betts served as Department Sergeant-at-Arms, Jerry served as Department Commandant, while Kip, Jack, and Ron served on other officer positions. Chuck read our detachment report. The meeting lasted from 0900 to 1045, a relatively short period of time. Afterwards, folks headed downstairs to partake in an early lunch and beerfest. See below.
