Scottsdale Marines # 1479. Its detachment has met since 1979 — Scottsdale, AZ. The charter came in the years after Vietnam and the years that followed, and the members who stayed treated the monthly meeting as a standing promise: show up, look after one another, and leave the town a little better.
Over the years the detachment has taken on the jobs a town actually asks for: rides to a clinic, a meal after a funeral, help with a ramp, a speaker for a school program. The members keep a notebook of what got done and what is still open, and they read it aloud before the meeting adjourns.
The regular meeting is Quarterly Feb, May, Aug, Nov, 2nd Wednesday, 6:00 PM. Anyone planning to visit should confirm the night before they come, because a funeral detail or a weather delay can move it. Between meetings the members stay in touch the old way: at the hall, and through the officers listed on this sample site — Scottsdale, AZ.

Late summer the detachment looked back at the notebook.

This note is a sample of how the detachment might tell that year — Scottsdale, AZ.
