The next Camp meeting will be Thursday, March 4, at 7:00 at the library. We will not have a speaker as this is only a business meeting.

Among the things to be discussed will be:

• Memorial Monument

• Camp Centennial

• National SCV Convention in Dalton

• All upcoming events through August

    Tickets for the Confederate Ball are available now.

    Due to illness or personal reasons, we lost 10 members for the calendar year 2003-2004. However, after receiving 3 transfers from other Camps, 2 past members rejoining and 2 new applications, we are back up to 87 members strong and have a good possibility of climbing to 95 by the end of March.

    We recently added 6 names to the Confederate Memorial Plaque in the library. There are 11 spots left before this plaque is filled. $10 will display the name, rank, company, regiment and state of your ancestor as well as your name.

    Don't forget that the Camp website can be found at [www.scvcamp469-nbf.com]. To access the list of current members, go to the Camp Officers link, then click on [members only] at the bottom of the page. Your user name is member and your password if rome469.
