    The next Camp meeting will be Thursday, October 2, at 7:00 at the library. The main speaker will be our own Dr Gary Roseman. Gary will speak on The Difference Between the Distribution of Wealth in 1860 and The Distribution of Wealth in 1866 in Floyd County, GA.

    Among the things to be discussed will be:

  • Upcoming Living Histories
  • Memorial Monument
  • National SCV Convention next year in Dalton
  • Camp Centennial next year
  • Heritage Ride, Black Powder Shoot and Rifle Raffle
  • Memorial Service for Pvt Reddick Perry
  • Memorial Service for Confederate ancestor of Genese Shelly

    Between the Living Histories, Confederate Memorial Services and the Christmas float, our Camp has a busy schedule planned for this Fall.

    Also, don't forget that raffle tickets for the 3-band Enfield Rifle are still on sale. If you wish to buy or sell tickets, then can be picked up at the next meeting.

    Tickets for the Confederate ball next April 24 should be ready by the next Camp meeting.

    It should also be noted that 2004 dues of $35 can now be paid. The $3 increase is to help pay for the ante-bellum SCV headquarters house in Forsyth, GA.
