Every year in February, GMBS hosts a fundraising event for the GMBS Music Scholarship Competition. Last year’s event "Moonlight Serenade" was held February 9th and it was a fabulous night. The Garrison House catered a 5-course meal, entertainment was provided by Craig Irvin, Opera Singer, the tables were elegantly decorated by ladies in the community, and photos were taken by Chris Gardner, GMBS member.
GMBS celebrated Glenn Miller's birthday (March 4, 1904) by kicking off our Veteran's “Giving Back” Program.
On March 2nd, 2019 we hosted a "free lunch" for Veterans and their families at the Glenn Miller Museum, in collaboration with the Clarinda Veterans committee and the Clarinda Foundation. The event included a tour of the Museum and. Birthplace Home.
The Clarinda American Legion was on hand to begin the festivities with the flag ceremony and Pledge of Allegiance. Marvin Negley conducted tours for our guests. Thanks to all who helped us support our Veterans with this event, and celebrate Glenn Miller’s birthday. Most importantly thank you to all who served!

SURPRISE !!! MARVIN'S 80TH BIRTHDAY
Keeping secrets in a small community is nearly impossible, but after several months of planning, we surprised Marvin with an 80th birthday party on November 4th, 2017 at the Glenn Miller Museum.
Friends and family from as far away as Japan traveled to Clarinda to celebrate with Marvin. There were gifts, cards, cakes, a special call from Mr. Aoki in Japan to congratulate Marvin, video thank you from the Tamana Girls High School, and lots of fun.
