JULY SOCIAL MEETING

We try to have one meeting a quarter designated as a "Social Meeting,"  in order to break up the routine of simply meeting to discuss business.  We pick a location to share a meal together, and maybe a drink or two, while getting to know each other a little better. 

​

This month we will be meeting at The Gin in downtown Prosper at 6:00pm.

 204 W Broadway St # 2300, Prosper, TX 75078 

​

All Marines, Corpsmen, family and friends are welcome to join us. Are you thinking about join the League? this could be a great opportunity to come out, meet some for the members and learn a little bit more about what we do. 

We will be conducting a swearing in ceremony for new members wishing to join. If you are planning to join, please remember to bring a copy of your DD214 or proof of service and $42 for annual dues. We will have applications available. 

MEMBERS DON'T FORGET ANNUAL DUES

246TH MARINE CORPS BIRTHDAY BALL

TICKETS ARE ON SALE NOW!

We look forward to being able to share this Marine Corps tradition again after having to cancel last year.  Again we are inviting the local community to join us for this elegant evening of rich military history, tradition, and ceremony. 

The Marine Corps Birthday Ball is our biggest event of the year and serves the purpose of carrying on history and tradition. The Ball also serves as a major fundraising event for the Collin County Marine Corps League.  Funds raised through this event assist us in our mission of supporting local Marines, FMF Corpsmen, and their families.  It also allows us to support other veteran initiatives that are in line with our mission.  For far this year the Marine Corps League of Collin County has provided financial assistance to several Marines, supported the Homeless Veterans Services of Dallas, donated to erecting the Gold Star Families Memorial Monument in Frisco, and awarded scholarships to local students. Funds raised by the detachment also helped support our Toys For Tots campaign, that provided a Christmas to over 21,000 children in Collin County this past season during the pandemic.  

​

We are currently seeking sponsors.  Categories are already selling out. For more information about the Marine Corps League, the Marine Corps Birthday Ball or sponsoring this unique event and supporting Marines, FMF Corpsmen, their families plus other veteran initiatives please contact Noe DeLeon. Phone: (214) 207-9093 email: Noe@NoeDeLeon.com or Nathan Hanson. Phone 940-390-7992  email: Admin@CollinMCL.org

​

The members of the Marine Corps League, LCpl Jacob D. Hayes Detachment hope to enjoy your presence on November 13th at the Hilton at Granite Park.  We look forward to sharing this sacred Marine Corps tradition with our community once again.  Thank you for your time and support of the Marine Corps League, LCpl Jacob D.
