Following a supper hour starting at 6pm where many enjoyed Shoney's delicious buffet or menu orders and Chaplain Snowden showed his wonderful slideshow with historical Confederate photos and quotes and some from camp events. At 7pm Chaplain Snowden began the meeting with an Invocation and then Communications Officer Larry Spears led everyone in the flag pledges and salutes. Commander Waldo then recited the SCV Charge and welcomed everyone. The March camp meeting is the business meeting for the camp and the first item on the agenda was elections. Commander Waldo, 1st Lt Grooms, 2nd Lt Wade, Adjutant Sutherland and Chaplain Snowden ran unopposed but the position of Treasurer was contested and Billy Leverette retained his office in a secret ballot. Following the elections, the upcoming events were discussed as well as some special announcements including report-outs from recent events including the Brigade Flag Day celebration, ACA 4th grade class presentation and, the Division EC Meeting. 1st Lt Grooms and 2nd Lt Wade were absent from the meeting as they were representing the camp at the Salvation Army Appreciation dinner and the Dragoons were recognized as manning a kettle for the Christmas bell ringing. Commander Waldo then showed the camp the certificate sent by General Headquarters recognizing the $1000 donation Camp 1524 made to the new Confederate Museum at Elm Springs. Commander Waldo then read reports from Larry Spears for the newsletter, Quartermaster Myrick, and Treasurer Leverette and then presented the commander's report for the past year highlighting all the camp's activities. It was a busy productive annual business meeting for the Dragoons.
