Tom Grosvenor Memorial

 Toys for Tots Fundraiser
 USMC Birthday Breakfast Celebration

Greetings Fellow Marines & Friends!

Welcome to our new website for the annual Tom Grosvenor Memorial Breakfast, where we celebrate not only the Marine Corps, but also launch our Toys for Tots fundraiser. With your help, last year we raised over $8200 in toys and cash for needy children throughout the region. This year, it is our hope that we can surpass that amount and be able to make a difference in the lives of even more deserving children. Once again, with your help, I am sure we can. 
 
The board also wishes to thank you for your support over the last 27 years of the Tom Grosvenor Memorial. In 2010, over 150 Marines and friends joined us for the opportunity to see old friends and meet new ones over an unforgettable breakfast highlighted by a hearty breakfast featuring S.O.S. 


This year’s event will be held Saturday, November 12, 2011 at the American Legion Hall on Rte. 12 in Fox Lake, the same site as last year. The doors will open at 0730. To save you a little bit of time and to reserve your seat, you may purchase your tickets in advance. Just visit the News and Events page within this site, and process your tickets. A confirming email will be sent to you shortly after your purchase. Or, just visit us on the 12th at the hall.

We also publish a newsletter periodically, so if you or any other Marine you know would like to receive it free of charge, email us at
newsletter@tegusmc.org.  We would need your name, address (city, state, & zip code), phone and e-mail address.
   
Our goal is to make this site and the events we hold to be an outstanding value for you. As such, your input would be greatly appreciated. Please email your comments to me at: 
ken@tegusmc.org or ginroc1965@sbcglobal.net. I would greatly appreciate it.  

Thanks’ again for your interest in our cause, and we look forward to seeing you soon. 
 
Best regards and Semper Fi!
