The upcoming events including the camp picnic scheduled for October as well as a new reenactment near Trussville for the weekend. A couple of opportunities were discussed for the camp to further community service including making a donation for an Eagle Scout project and potentially participating in Wreaths Across America for the Christmas season. Commander John Land of the Montgomery Semple Camp was the guest speaker and discussed his camp's efforts planning for the 2019 Division Reunion as Camp 1524 looks forward to hosting the 2021 event in Prattville.
