NEWPORT BEACH CAR WASH BY 1/1 MARINES

Marines and Sailors of 1/1 (1st Battalion, 1st Marine Regiment, 1st Marine Division) volunteered to wash cars in Newport Beach Saturday to raise funds for the Marine Corps Birthday Ball.

Under the able direction of 1stSgt David Shaffer, SSgt Daniel Coleman, and Family Readiness Officer Rick Andersen, Marines of Bravo Company 1/1 washed cars and sold 1/1 memorabilia on 11 October in order to make 1/1's 2008 Marine Corps Birthday Ball more affordable for younger Marines and sailors.

The car wash was held at 3300 West Coast Highway and a second 1/1 car wash will be held at the same location on Saturday 25 October 2008.
