Prattville Dragoons Camp Meeting Announcement for October 11, 2018

The Prattville Dragoons will hold their October meeting on Thursday the 11th at Jim’s Restaurant on Memorial Drive in Prattville. The meeting room will open by 6:00 PM for socializing and ordering meals  from Jim’s splendid menu. The meeting will begin at 6:45 PM. This is so we can finish our meeting by 8:00 PM when Jim’s closes. Come early and enjoy associating with your fellow members and guests. Prospective members are invited to attend as well as spouses and significant others of members and guests. 

Our speaker will be Compatriot Bill Rambo, Director of the Confederate Memorial Park at Mountain Creek. He will detail  updates and history of the Park.  

Remember our Thanksgiving food drive! Bring some nonperishable food items to donate in the camp’s name to the Autauga Interfaith Care Center for those local people in need at Thanksgiving time. This is an opportunity to share with our locals who are in need of this service at Thanksgiving. Your donations are much appreciated. 

The Autauga County Fair is opens and runs through Saturday 13 October. The Dragoons have a recruiting/information booth throughout the entire Fair. Come by and see us!

A Fall fundraiser will be announced Thursday night. We are trying to build up our treasury to help with unforeseen circumstances that may require an expenditure of money. This will be a smoked turkey sale in time for Thanksgiving. The smoked turkeys will be purchased from Smokin S Bar B Que  and will sell for $40 each. This is the same retail price Smokin S had last year so we will be no more expensive than what the public can purchase smoked turkeys for in a retail establishment.  Tickets will be available Thursday night. Our distribution date will be Saturday November 17, just in time for Thanksgiving. Please consider selling as many tickets as possible so the camp treasury will have some funds in case unexpected expenditures are required to preserve our Heritage. 

Chaplain Tom Snowden will present his camp slide show presentation during the social hour. This is always an interesting item as Tom updates the slide show regularly.
