from your President

Dear MCB Ten Family,

Best & Safe wishes for Fall 2024!! 

Our October 2023 Reunion in Pigeon Forge was again in conjunction with the NSVA Department of Tennessee East Coast All-Seabee Reunion. It was heavily attended by veterans of MCB 8, 121 plus our MCB 1-9-10 family. We again switched to a weekday rather than week-end reunion because of the tourist economics of the area.

October, particularly the 2nd half, is peak season for fall foliage in the Pigeon Forge/Gatlinburg area. . We were fortunate to again have great weather. .

For 2024, we return to the Providence RI area and the beautiful Crowne Plaza Warwick hotel.  Newly renovated, this hotel was the site of our 2011 Reunion with the NSVA Annual Convention.   Come and enjoy the  the comradeship of fellow Seabees and a trip to the Seabee Museum at Davisville, RI.  Davisville was the first Construction Battalion Center and decades long time homeport for MCB One.

We have had great success using our Facebook page: MCB Ten Reunion Association (@nmcbten).  I encourage you to Like or Follow our Page. It is our most timely & responsive communication tool.  We post to this page about every three weeks. We also send broadcast e-mails to our roster list but we expect to faze this out in favor of Facebook.  Our broad-cast emails are far less effective compared to Facebook..

We still have a few collectors-quality MCB Ten Challenge Coin & Pin sets available.  The set (coin and pin) is only $20.  We also have new MCB Ten hats available. We have posted pictures and “how to order” on Facebook.

Send e-mail to mcb10reunion@outloook.com to inquire about our reunions, products or anything else.  Or, call me at 619-322-7104 (M).

In closing,  thank you for your continuing support of the MCB Ten Association and our annual MCB 1-9-10 annual Reunions.

Wishing you a safe & healthy year,

Bill
