The
Prattville Dragoons held the annual business meeting on 14 March at the
Prattville Masonic Lodge. The required business included camp
officer elections, reports from the Commander, Treasurer and a Newsletter
report.
The Dragoons outstanding Chaplain Tom Snowden, was recognized for his years of service to
the camp as a great spiritual leader and a Brigade Certificate of
Appreciation was prepared and presented by Brigade Commander Josh Stover. Tom requested to
relinquish the office of Chaplain due to health issues but promised to continue to contribute and present his excellent slide show before our camp meetings. Tom received a standing ovation for his dedication to the camp members and their
families through the years. The presentation is recorded in the 3rd attached
photo showing 1st. Lt. Commander Harold Grooms, Tom and Brigade Cmdr. Josh
Stover.
The
incumbent officers for Commander, 1st. Lt. Cmdr., 2nd Lt. Cmdr., Adjutant and
Treasurer were reelected. They are Stuart Waldo, Harold Grooms, Karl Wade,
Wayne Sutherland and Billy Leverette. Compatriot Will Dismukes was elected the new Chaplain. The
only appointed position that had a change last night was Compatriot John Dennis
taking the Color Guard position.
The Nathan Bedford Forrest bronze bust was brought by Commander Stover and was placed on a front center table and made available for all to admire. This
is the bust purchased by the Dragoons from Monuments Across Dixie to be donated to the new SCV Confederate
museum at Elm Springs in Tennessee. It is pictured in the last photo.
It
was announced that the camp donated money to the Southern Victory Campaign and
$250 for tornado relief to the Wetumpka Police Department.
