Saturday December 5th and 12th, members of the Sons of Confederate Veterans Camp 1524 manned the Salvation Army red kettle in front of the Prattville Winn Dixie to ring the bell and take donations for this worthy charitable organization. The Dragoons have turned this into an annual community service event for the camp expanding from one to two Saturdays this year. On Saturday the 5th, compatriots Dale Boyle, Tyrone Crowley, Larry Spears, Sam Reid, and Rob Schwartz worked shifts throughout the day along with camp Commander Waldo, Adjutant Sutherland, Color Sgt Dennis, Quartermaster Myrick and 2nd Lt Wade. The report of receipts showed an outstanding day for the charity with the kettle providing over twice the amount of donations as for their average.
On Saturday December 12th, compatriot Rob Schwartz anchored two separate shifts in the afternoon and the evening working the red kettle at the Winn Dixie. Commander Waldo, Color Sgt Dennis and 2nd Lt Wade again participated along with Tyrone Crowley and Sam Reid. Additionally, camp Treasurer Billy Leverette and Chaplain Brantley worked shifts ringing the bell. The men are always quick to wish passers-by a merry Christmas and thank them for their generosity which encourages this charitable giving to the Salvation Army. It is a terrific way for SCV Camp 1524 to bring the spirit of Christmas giving to our community of Prattville.
