Calling all Quail Creek U.S. Navy and Coast Guard veterans, reservists, retirees, family and friends to join together for an afternoon of food, good times and, of course, sea stories.
On Friday, May 3, you are invited to connect with shipmates at the Kino Conference Center from 2:00 to 4:00 p.m.
Besides camaraderie, the meeting will also help assess the interest in organizing a 2019 Navy Ball celebrating the 244th birthday of the Continental Navy (later adopted as the birthdate of the U.S. Navy) when George Washington commissioned the schooner, the USS Hannah on October 13, 1775.
The meet and greet is also an effort to organize Quail Creek Navy veterans and friends of the sea services to occasionally come together as a group to make a positive contribution to our community and to assist local veterans in need.
So, mark May 3 on your calendar as a reminder. More announcements will appear in future publications of the QC Crossing and in What’s Happening.
For additional information or if you would like to help organize a 2019 Navy Birthday Ball please contact John Chernoski at [email protected].
