Sons of Confederate Veterans Camp 1524 Christmas Social

Members and their significant others attended the annual Prattville Dragoons Christmas Social on Saturday December 6th at the Southern Cultural Center in Wetumpka AL.  Cold outside but warm and inviting inside with the SCC decorated for Christmas including a Confederate themed Christmas tree.  Quartermaster Myrick and his wife Peggy manned the table at the entrance and provided each lady in attendance a nice gift.  Mrs Myrick also brought a hummingbird cake which disappeared at dinner time and a number of cute peanut butter cookies decorated as reindeer.  They also gave each person a raffle ticket for a doorprize which included the number of  centerpieces they had purchased and decorated the tables with.   Other doorprizes included a couple of very nice framed prints, Aflac ducks, Confederate playing cards and other nice gifts.  Adjutant Butler and his wife made the delicious General Lee eggnog and served a couple portions of that to everyone who wanted to celerbrate a little more.  Commander Grooms and his wife hosted the program including leading everyone in the singing of a number of Christmas carols after dinner.  Dinner was catered again by Smokin S and included delicious smoked turkey, sweet potato casserole, dressing, mashed and scalloped potatoes, green bean casserole and desserts including peach cobbler and banana pudding.   Harold went thru the program which included a recognition of the SCC members who allowed the camp's Christmas Social to be held in their hall, compatriots Whorton and Boardwine, a reading of the SCV Charge and, after dinner, a recitation of the Cajun Night Before Christmas which is always popular.  Commander Grooms invited one of his church members to play the piano for us during the Social hour and after dinner; she was a very good pianist and played Dixie excellently and exuberantly.  Also in attendance were Camp 1524 2nd Lt Karl Wade, Color Sgt Leverette, Treasurer Dennis and his wife who helped put together the programs, Darrell Haywood, and compatriots Sam Reid and Tyrone Crowley and their wives.  Brigade Commander Waldo was also in attendance and his wife helped Harold with the doorprizes which concluded the night's festivities.  Another enjoyable Camp 1524 Christmas Social.
