Marine Moms-Bethesda’s Luncheon Dates thru the Years.

A list of all of our luncheons since 2005.

5th floor and 4th floor were/are the surgical ward.  Mercy Hall was a small out-patients barracks which closed during the summer of 2014, so we finished the year doing our Thursday luncheons at the USO.  7 East is the Traumatic Brain Injury Ward.  We’ve also hosted luncheons at Hunter-Holmes McGuire VAMC in Richmond, Virginia.

We are very grateful to all of our supporters, “Elfs”, “Notes 4 Bethesda” writers, Holiday Cheer supporters, quilt raffle participants, Liaison Staff, hospital staff, our “behind the scenes helpers” and our awesome “hands’ on” volunteers who have made the luncheons possible over the years. Thank you!

Dates with *** are online. Several years worth of posts are missing from when we moved to a new server in 2011.

2013

Going backwards from here. There are a few dates missing from the rest of this list. In early 2013, we moved to a different host for the website, doing a “do it our-self, knowing just enough to get ourselves in trouble move” to save approximately $4,000.00 and in doing so, a number of the luncheons didn’t get back online. Three years later… they still aren’t back online… working on it… mebbe one day…)
