The
Dragoons and guests enjoyed their first meeting at Jim’s Restaurant on Thursday
12 July. The accommodations were very comfortable with plenty of room to walk
around and visit one another and the food was very good according to feedback
we have received. Overall, the meeting room at Jim’s was spacious and excellent accommodations. At least 33 people were in attendance and there was room for many more.
The scheduled speaker had to cancel but Brigade Commander Josh Stover filled in
with an exceptional program, with Powerpoint, explaining the upcoming
events and focus of our Brigade and Division. Josh showed us how we can easily
grow our numbers if the camp just recruits and approaches potential members with the
truth about our organization. He also explained that plans are in the
works for a Living History presentation that he wants to present to schools in
our Brigade. An excellent inspiring program.
New
member Earl Edmonson was formally inducted into the ranks of the SCV and the
Dragoons. Earl proudly told us of his Confederate ancestor and even showed pictures
of him.
Dixie Butt tickets were distributed and it was announced that there are prizes this year
for 1st and 2nd place in number of Dixie Butts sold for the camp's annual fundraiser including a $25 gift card
from Bass Pro and 2 Battle Flag tags; one to fit a car and another to fit a
motorcycle. The tickets should continue to be sold thru the first of August with distribution scheduled for the morning of August 11th.
