MCA&F Luncheon at Cherry Point
MCA&F Out and About!
On Wednesday, 11 January, the Marine Corps Association & Foundation opened the 2012 Professional Events program with a luncheon at MCAS Cherry Point, North Carolina. The featured speaker was MajGen Jon M. Davis, USMC, Commanding General 2d Marine Air Wing.
MCA&F professional events provide opportunities for social interaction for members, Marines and friends of the Corps and also provide occasions for professional development with top Corps leaders providing candid remarks on the status of Marine Corps activities, operations, plans and the future. Visit the MCA&F website at www.mca-marines.org and click on the Programs/Events drop down box in the tool bar at the top of the page to visit our complete professional event schedule.
