Upcoming Events

Marine Corps Air Station Cherry Point residential areas will observe trick-or-treating from 6-8 p.m., Oct. 31. In the interest of safety, drivers are advised to proceed with caution as pedestrian traffic during the evening hours is expected to be at volume that is higher than usual. Individuals participating in trick or treating are advised to wear clothing or other accessories that make themselves more visible.  If you do not wish to participate please turn your porch light off.  Candy should be individually wrapped, and avoid giving homemade treats out.  Have fun and stay safe!

Combined federal campaign kickoff

Since the establishment of the Combined Federal Campaign (CFC) by President Kennedy in 1961, we’ve come a long way. Generous military members and federal employees have come together to support causes important to them by raising over $8.5 billion in pledges to local, national, and international charities over the last 60 years. To mark this achievement, we would like to announce the 2021 CFC!

This year’s CFC moto is “You Can Be The Face Of Change”.   By donating through the CFC, you become a change maker which leaves a lasting impact in our communities, our favorite charities, and the world.  How can I become a change maker this year?
