PRESIDENT JEFFERSON DAVIS BIRTHDAY DINNER

SCV CAMP 469 will observe the birthday celebration of their President at the December meeting. As in the past, this will be a covered dish, family affair, so bring food… and bring the family.

We will dispense with any meeting matters, eat, and then enjoy a presentation on the President of the Confederacy, Jefferson Davis.

Remember, this is a family affair, so bring your family, friends and neighbors…and your appetite.

Festivities begin at 7 p.m.

SILVER CREEK LIVING HISTORY

Many thanks to everyone who participated in the Living History held at Silver Creek Methodist Church on November 20th. Hugh Durden and John Butler gave an excellent presentation on the flags of the Confederacy.

Also, Camp member Phil Carver discovered that his GG Grandfather, Mr. Denison, was a member of the Confederate army and is buried in the Silver Creek Methodist Church Cemetery.
