- Meeting Day/Time: 3rd Tuesday, 6:00 PM
South Coast #22. Its detachment has met since 1996 — San Clemente, CA. 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 Meeting Day/Time: 3rd Tuesday, 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 — San Clemente, CA.

Notes from the first meeting
South Coast #22. The year opens the usual way: a short meeting, a full pot of coffee, and a list of local families the detachment already knows. The members voted to keep the spring scholarship on the calendar and to pass the word person to person — San Clemente, CA. - Apr 9, 2026
Showing up for the spring scholarship — San Clemente
By spring the hall had the spring scholarship underway. Nothing about it was complicated. The Detachment 22 set a date, split the jobs, and showed up. A few neighbors who are not members came for the afternoon and stayed to ask about the next meeting — San Clemente. - Aug 21, 2026
What the notebook says so far
Late summer the detachment looked back at the notebook. The honor detail had been out more than once, the community table had fed a crowded room, and the officers reminded everyone that the next business meeting is Meeting Day/Time: 3rd Tuesday, 6:00 PM. This note is a sample of how the detachment might tell that year — San Clemente, CA.
