Members of SCV Camp 1524 held their annual Dixie Butt fundraiser to generate proceeds for the camp treasury with distribution on Saturday August 15th. Members were asked to " Buy One and Sell One" and a number of compatriots went above and beyond selling many to friends and neighbors. Saturday morning, compatriot Myrick went by Smokin S BBQ in Wetumpka to pick up the quanitity of hot and cold butts for distribution that morning to purchasers. Smokin S has prepared the butts for the last several years for the camp and they also provide catering services for the camp's Christmas Social. Delicious product. Color Sgt Leverette and Commander Waldo set up the canopy and hung an SCV recruiting banner on it to make ready for customers. Treasurer John Dennis and his wife kept the books, accounting for the butt tickets distributed and the monies paid, a lot of commendable work to keep straight. 2nd Lt Karl Wade and compatriots Darrell Haywood and Commander Waldo helped bag the butts for pickup and transport and Adjutant Doug Butler also worked the morning. The men greeted camp members and friends of the SCV who arrived to pick up their butts. Brigade Commander Waldo took a quantity of butts to deliver...compatriot Philip Edwards visited for quite a while with everyone... Skip Ward who always donates a few butts for later camp events dropped in to pick his up and say hello... Allen Herrod whose facility was used for the distribution point stopped in to pick up a couple butts...1st Lt Harold Grooms also stayed a while at the distribution. It was a great opportunity to see members and friends of the camp this morning and proved to be another successful fundraising campaign with butts sold and donations also made.
