Marines to Host Educational Dinner

Marine Corps Recruiting Station New York will host a dinner for educators and influencers throughout the local communities at the Long Island Aquarium at 6 p.m. Sept.27. The dinner will provide educators and influencers with the opportunity to meet the local Marine Corps representatives, as well as learn about the numerous opportunities available to young men and women in the military.

There are a lot of misconceptions about the Marine Corps and military in general. By providing educators with more information, they will be able to intelligently counsel their students on all their options for the future, the benefits of serving, and the process of enlisting.

They will also learn about the annual Educators Workshop, where educators, influencers and media are afforded the opportunity to take an all-expenses-paid trip to Parris Island, S.C., to witness Marine Corps recruit training firsthand.
