Camp 1524 successfully distributed all the Dixie butts on Saturday morning August 11th for their annual fundraiser and had a lot of fun
doing it. Many compatriots met at Herrod’s Chevron arriving between 7 and 8am to help hand out the smoked butts; thanks to Allen Herrod for providing the
space for our distribution convenient off Memorial Drive in Prattville. Adjutant Wayne
Sutherland did an outstanding job keeping up with the butt tickets, money, etc
and handling the distribution checklist on Saturday morning. Thanks
to all who sold/bought butt tickets and/or made/solicited donations. These efforts have given the camp treasury a tremendous boost for the next 12
months - these funds are used for the purchase of flags, charitable donations such as Tate Swanner's Blanket Fort Hope Eagle Scout project and the camp's annual donation to the Alabama State Archives for historic flag conservation, entries to parades and festivals and advertisements. We
also appreciate Tom and Stacey, owners of Smokin S Bar B Que in Wetumpka for
their excellent cooperation and service and delicious product which is recognized in the positive reaction to sales solicitation. Photos below 1) Compatriots enjoying a good laugh with Adjutant Sutherland 2) Commander Waldo sorts through
