NEXT MEETING

The next meeting of SCV Camp 469 will be held on Thursday, November 6, 2008 at the Senior Center on Riverside Parkway beginning at 7 pm. The Senior Center is located next to the railroad tracks opposite Ridge Ferry Park.

 

At press time no speaker has been announced so we will take this time to hold a general business / planning meeting. There are a number of projects and special events coming up and this would be a good time to plan those out.

 

 

COOSA VALLEY FAIR

Many thanks go out to the camp members who volunteered their time to assist with the Camp 469 table at the 2008 Coosa Valley Fair. We made a lot of contacts with prospective camp members and sold quite a few T-shirts, hats and flags. Thanks go to Merroll Smith, Bobby Barton, Ben Terry, Andy Lee, Mike Morton, Stephen Carnes and Jim Dugger. Hope I didn’t miss anyone.

 

 

CAMP POLO SHIRTS

The camp still has a limited number of SCV Camp 469 Polo shirts available. Large polo’s are $25 and the XL are $27 which is about $15 dollars below catalog price. Shirts will be available at the November meeting on a first come basis.
