Members of the Prattville Dragoons Sons of Confederate Veterans Camp 1524 held their camp meeting on Thursday evening, March 14th at the Masonic Lodge in downtown Prattville. Rob Schwartz played his guitar to entertain everyone prior to the meeting start. Chaplain Brantley then led everyone in an invocation followed by Color Sgt Dennis who led the pledges and salutes to the US, Alabama and Confederate flags. Commander Waldo then recited the SCV Charge and welcomed everyone to the meeting. A great event as a new member was sworn in, Josh Baker who has attended a number of meetings and had already participated in a parade with the camp as part of the Mechanized Cavalry riders at the Millbrook Mardi Gras parade. The upcoming events were then highlighted including the Alabama Division SCV Education Conference, setting of flag on March 30th, Confederate Memorial Day program at the state capital and, the camp's spring picnic for which a covered dish signup was passed around. This camp meeting evolved into a business meeting as the elections for the camp's officers were held including the positions of Commander, 1st Lt, 2nd Lt, Adjutant, Treasurer and Chaplain. All men were elected unanimously and will be sworn in at the spring picnic in April at CMP. The SCV Closing was then recited by Commander Waldo and a Benediction by the chaplain closed out the meeting.
