This year we are hosting the MCL Iowa State Convention with the Hamilton-Walters Detachment. This is a costly event for the Detachments and we could use some help to offset these costs. To help with these cost we hold an auction on Friday night of items donated from local businesses. If you have a gift basket or any items you would like to donate for this auction, please contact us.
Also, we are looking for local businesses that would like to help with us providing a simple meal for our Friday night event. I.E Deli Sandwiches, Pizzas or something that can delivered and won't need warmers. We would also be appreciative of deserts like Cookies, Cupcakes, Brownies or other sweets. These don't have to be donated, but maybe a discounted cost.
We are also looking for Transportation for about 50 people from the Isle Hotel to the Rock Island Arsenal where we will hold our Memorial Service, visit the Arsenal Museum and enjoy a lunch at the park. So if you know of anybody that has a bus for rent at a decent price or a company to work with we would appreciate that.
