Platoon of the Year Family Fun Beach Day

We will be holding a beach family fun day to celebrate winning The Mission Continues Platoon of the Year in 2016. Please bring your family along as this will be a great day to relax and spend time together. Also we will have our new Platoon Leader at the event and members that have not yet met him will be able to do so. We would love to share the day with you all by having a Potluck meal. We are asking that everyone bring either their favorite family dish or recipe. We would rather not spend time cooking and grills are very limited so food should be prepared ahead of time. We will need drinks and ice as well as paper products. Please register so we have an idea of how many people to expect. Also please email us to let us know what you plan to bring so we make sure that we cover all of our bases. Lets make this a great celebration of all of our hard work last year as we continue to work diligently to do the same this year. Location: Virginia Key Beach- NORTH POINT PARK.
