Email Distribution List Issues!
We have been experiencing issues sending out information to our distribution list. Some members may have received a message in the past couple of days, but most did not. My current service provider has determined that sending many messages out is considered SPAM and had blocked it. Therefore, we are now experimenting with the use of Constant Contact to get our word out. The one draw back is that we cannot attach files to the messages, and as such, we will be providing links to the respective websites where these files can be found.
I do apologize for any inconvenience this has caused. ....SPT

Direct Deposit from National
Moving forward, Marine Corps League National Headquarters will be issuing PLM (Permanent Life Member) dividends via Direct Deposit directly to the Detachments account . In the next few weeks, the Department Adjutant will be sending a Direct Deposit Authorization form to each Detachment Paymaster.
The Detachment can simply provide a voided check, or have your financial institution complete the needed information in section 3 of the form. While this is currently not mandatory, but is strongly encouraged. Your Detachment will receive your PLM dividend much fast directly into your account.
Here is a projected time table for the transition:
2020 – PLM Distribution to DEPARTMENT will only be done via electronic transfer (no check)
2021 – PLM Distribution to DEPARTMENT and to those Detachments who have provided the information.
For document security purposes, the voided checks and forms, there will be no copies of these documents kept by the Department (a log entry that you sent it in will be recorded in the Department records). Once the information has been recorded in a secure system, the documents /voided checks will be destroyed.
Mission 22-Zero
In an effort to organize a committee focused on Suicide Prevention and Awareness through “Creating Hope-Saving Lives” with the goal of reducing the number of daily Veterans successfully committing suicide from 22 to Zero, I am asking everyone to communicate our recruitment effort to each of their Detachment members.
I need volunteers willing to form a readiness force to engage in the Mission to save Marines’ and other Warriors’s Lives. Mission 22-Zero.
These Marines. Associates and Auxiliary members do not need a background in psychology or formal degrees. What they will require is the passion to touch lives with a message of Hope and the ear to listen with a heart to empathize. Training will be provided via the VA and other organizations throughout the state. There will be a structure developed which will facilitate communication, encouragement and mentoring.
There is a 2 day training in Suicide Prevention being put on by the WNY Law Enforcement Helpline Board of Directors in Cheektowaga, NY on May 8-9. I will be attending. Any individual desiring to participate, let me know. (FYI, I have attended their T.R.A.U.M.A. and " Individual Crisis Intervention & Peer Support" Training and will be attending their Advanced ICIPS course in Feb. they do a great job).
This project is in its infancy and we seek to identify willing detachment, area and department level leadership in this Mission.
If you or those whom you know are interested contact me ASAP.
I thank you in advance for your help with this Mission.
“Creating Hope-Saving Lives.” Mission 22 to Zero; “Working Together - Working in Harmony”
