"What Memorial Day Means To Me"

On March 9, 2024, immediately after Branch 294's regular monthly meeting, a ceremony was held to recognize the winners of the Annual Fleet Reserve Association's Essay Contest.  This year's theme was "What Memorial Day Means to Me."  Each winner read their essay to the Branch and its visitors, were presented a certificate by the Branch President Tim Grimes, and given a cash prize by the Branch Treasurer Alex Alenitsch.  Afterwards, the winners and their guests were invited to stay for a light lunch with the Branch and Auxiliary membership.
