The Camp 1524 meeting for July was held on Thursday July 10th at the Prattville Masonic Lodge. Adjutant Butler gathered membership dues/renewals and new applications. Treasurer Dennis also gathered fundraiser monies and provided tickets for Dixie Butt sales. Light refreshments including colas, chips and cookies were served and compatriot Rob Schwartz entertained everyone upon arrival by playing his guitar and singing some wonderful songs. The meeting began at 6:45 pm hosted by Commander Harold Grooms who led everyone in the SCV Charge and provided updates on upcoming events and news following a Benediction and the pledges and salutes to the United States, Alabama and Confederate flags.
The speaker for the meeting was Larry Caver. Mr. Caver is the president of the Old Autauga Historical Society and has been involved in historical and genealogical research since 1989. Dragoons Treasurer Dennis is also a member and is integral in the camp's efforts in cemetery cleaning and maintenance as part of the SCV Guardian Program. History, especially on Old Autauga County and Alabama, is Larry's passion and he provided a dynamic educational discussion of the Prattville and Autauga county area history this evening. It was a well attended meeting and a great event for the camp.
