Anniversary Party

The Anniversary of the Women's Reserve is Feb 13th, 1943.  We celebrate the date that women became a permanent part of the Marine Corps Annually as close to that date as possible.

US Marine Corps Memorial 5K

The US Marine Corps Memorial 5/10 K has been cancelled indefinitely due to circumstances beyond our control.

US Marine Corps Memorial Ceremonies on Memorial Day and the Saturday before Veterans Day.  See the Link to get directions and find out more about the events.
USMC Birthday Luncheon at the Denver Athletic Club is a great way to celebrate this special day organized by a group called "Rocky Mountain Marines".  WMACO1 provides mementos to guest speaker and others. Women Marines often  serve as the Eldest Marine during the cake cutting ceremony. Shown here is "Babe" Houser who is 96 years young in 2017! Guest Speaker was Bud McFarland. This year (2019) Babe was again the senior Marine at '98 years old.
Breakfast for Buckley
WMA CO1 traditionally provides Breakfast by partnering with a local hotel in support of the troops serving at the Naval Operations Support Center on Buckley AFB. We also bring gifts! This 2019 photo shows some of the Marines and Sailors at Buckley AFB as well as our supporters from the Radisson Hotel in Aurora. WMA had a good turnout for the event! Over 75 gifts/gift cards and hotel stays including Beaver Run in Vail, the Radisson in Aurora and others were won in a drawing for them! Businesses in support of the event are Chick-fil-A, BJ's, "In Honor of Sgt Tony Sarlls", Radisson Hotel, JC Auto, Old Town Dental, Renaissance Hotel, Hero Bar, and many others...

Marines Helping Marines
This Chapter teamed with Bed Bath and Beyond Patrons at Pioneer Hills to buy and donate goodies for the troops in Iraq (2018).
We raised funds to ship them to Iraq. We often do projects to help veterans or active duty troops.  Please help us

Marine veterans enjoy Broncos Games donated to the chapter
Part of our mission is to help veterans.  On occasion patrons donate things to us because of our wide network of veteran contacts.
This year the tickets went to Jessica Berry and her two children.  The week before (opening game) they went to Gold Star Wife and Marine Veteran Paula Sarlls and her family.
Paula said, “Thanks to the chapter for allowing me the opportunity to use these tickets.  I will probably never get to see another live game and this was really a great experience and memory!  My sister, Sharon, and adopted grandson Justin and his girlfriend Ashley had a great time!”
Jessica said “I just wanted to say thank you again for the opportunity to go to the Broncos game . It was an amazing experience and the seats were amazing. I got to take my kiddos and they had a great time. Thank you again for this experience.”
