Gathering of the Pack - 2023 Wolfpack Reunion

Palm Desert (Palm Springs Area), California - 20-23 July 2023 - Event Information

The GATHERING OF THE PACK 2023 will occur at the JW Marriott Desert Springs Resort located in Palm Desert (Palm Springs Area), California from 20 - 23 July 2023.  The contract has been signed and the coordination has begun.  Although we did not think we could do it after 2021, the bar has been raised again. 


Thursday, 20 July, we will host an evening reception for those who are able to arrive early.  With numerous pools and a golf course, there is much to do at the resort.  If you prefer, you can visit one of the local casinos or schedule dinner with your fellow Marines at one of the many amazing restaurants or bars in the resort or surrounding area.  


Friday, 21 July, we plan to travel to 29 Palms to visit the Battalion.  Upon return, we will host an evening mixer for all attendees.  We are trying to coordinate a couple of other events - details to follow soon.  Although you will be tired after the visit to "The Stumps" you will not want to miss the camaradarie at the resort. .   


Saturday, 22 July, we will host a formal dinner for all attendees as the final Gathering of the Pack event for 2023.  Tickets for the dinner are $75.00 per person.  You can purchase your dinner tickets through the Wolfpack Store link posted at the bottom of this page.  If you would prefer to pay by check, you can download, complete, then email or mail the Wolfpack Dinner Ticket Request Form posted below; mailing instructions are on the form.   


Updates to the event can be found here.  We will also continue to provide updated information via our Facebook page and Instagram.   If you have any questions about the event as the date gets closer, you can ask them via the Facebook Page or by sending an email to:  wolfpackassociation@gmail.com .
