All Annual Memberships in our
Central Florida Chapter Expired December 31

Unless you have joined as a LIFE MEMBER of the Central Florida Chapter, your membership expires at the end of each year and will need to be renewed for this year. Our Chapter By-laws allow 60 days of "grace period" after the beginning of the new year, but we would like to receive your membership renewal before having to send you a written reminder.

IMPORTANT :: Please make sure that your membership in the 1st Marine Division Association is current. It was discovered recently that several of our current members had not joined the Association. If you are not a member in good standing of the 1st Marine Division Association, you cannot be eligible to be a Regular Member of the Central Florida Chapter!

Meetings feature programs and speakers of interest to Marines and other military veterans, followed by an optional lunch and good old fashioned Marine fellowship and esprit de Corps.
