Saturday December 11th, 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 to raise money for the needy serviced by the Salvation Army mission. A severe line of storms moved thru midday but didn’t deter the men from manning the kettle from 9am til 7pm on Saturday. Dragoons 2nd Lt Karl Wade helps coordinate the effort communicating and scheduling with the local Salvation Army office. Quartermaster Myrick, Color Sgt Dennis, 1st Lt Grooms, Commander Waldo and compatriots Bill Branch, Tyrone Crowley, Rob Schwartz, Thomas Griffith, Terry Fitzpatrick, and Larry Spears took shifts throughout the day. The Dragoons always take in very good receipts at the kettle they are assigned, wishing all passers-by a Merry Christmas and thanking them for their generosity supporting the Salvation Army. A terrific way for SCV Camp 1524 to bring the spirit of Christmas giving to our community of Prattville.
