Members and friends of SCV Camp 1524 met on Thursday evening October 10th at the Prattville Masonic Lodge for their regularly scheduled monthly meeting. Despite a few members absent to man the camp's booth at the Autauga County Fair, there were over thirty present at the camp meeting. Rob Schwartz sang a song in honor of his brother who recently passed away. Camp Chaplain Brantley gave a presentation of his trip to the SCV National Chaplains' Conference which was held at the SCV HQ at Elm Springs in Columbia TN. While there, Chaplain Brantley stopped by the SCV Museum. Commander Grooms presented him with a check to help cover his travel expenses to the convention. Scott Roberson was presented the 16 gauge single shot shotgun he won as part of the charity auction by Comms Officer Doug Butler. Paul Brueske was the guest speaker who presented on "The Last Siege: The Mobile Campaign, Alabama 1865". He was very well educated and very thorough on the subject, speaking on the importance of Mobile to the Confederacy for trade as a major port for food and ammunition.
