We are jinxed!
When the US Men’s National soccer team beat Iran on Tuesday, it put them in the Round of 16 to be played at 10:00 Saturday morning against the Netherlands. I was at Fiddlers Green for the game vs Iran. The pub was packed with raucous soccer fans and there was not a parking place in the lot. It would be impossible for us to hold our chapter meeting on Saturday at Fiddlers Green Irish Pub. Moving a meeting (especially as we get closer to Christmas) is “dicey” at best. As a result, I have reluctantly made the decision to cancel this month’s chapter meeting this Saturday (Dec 3). There will be no attempt to reschedule. I realize many of you have toys already purchased to donate to the Marine Toys for Tots. Here is a web-page where you can find local drop-off locations: https://toysfortotsusa.org/droplocations I apologize for this inconvenience … the December meeting is always our most popular meeting and it is truly disappointing to have to cancel. We'll see you in February! A reminder that a Memorial service for Janet Pomakis will be held Sunday, Dec. 4, at 2:00 at the DeGusipe Funeral Home, 1400 Matthew Paris Blvd. Ocoee, Fl with a reception to follow. Semper Fidelis, Mike |

re: SOS BREAKFAST
Marines and Friends,
Thanks to Hurricane Nicole, the Marine Corps Birthday SOS Breakfast must accept defeat. We had hoped that a reschedule would take place, but we just could not pull all the parts together to make that happen. The officers of the Central Florida Chapter tried their best to make this year’s Marine Corps Birthday celebration one to remember, but Nicole was more successful in making this a memorable birthday.
Refunds will be sent to all who registered for the “SOS Breakfast.” If you paid via PayPal on the chapter website, refunds will be made through PayPal back to your credit card or your PayPal account.
If your registration was paid by personal check, your refund will be by check sent in the mail.
In either case, we ask your patience, as both PayPal and postal service may take several days to be finalized.
We had some wonderful raffle items that will be put away until next year, and Lieutenant General Mundy has already committed to our “SOS Breakfast” in 2023. Thank you for registering for our breakfast this year, and we look forward to seeing you next year on Friday, November 10, 2023.
Semper Fidelis,
Mike
