CO mmander’s Report

Greetings Compatriots,

I hope you are all staying warm as winter has invaded us.

At our last meeting Gladys Ligon, Teresa Roane and Darlene Taylor received associate member campawards, congratulations to these fine Southern Ladies. These awards were well overdue, as their

contributions and dedication help make our camp what it should be.

Our CIC, Kelly Barrow has sent out communications that he has declared that Saturday, March 5th 2016 will

be “Confederate Flag Day”. This will be a National Event. He has requested that all Divisions have a Flag

Rally in their State. Our own Tommy Clinger as 1st Lt. Commander of the 2

nd Brigade has coordinated and

prepared our areas ceremony to begin at 10:00 at Hollywood Cemetery. Our Camp participation has been

requested to be there for this ceremony. Afterward, the Rally will go down Monument Avenue and onto theConfederate War Memorial Chapel. Please mark your calendars.

Our Camp Auction was a major focus of our last meeting, and it went rather well. The auction is a major

source of income, we did not do as well as some previous years, but it was still a great success. Thank you toall the members that donated items for the auction.

This year ’s State Convention will be held at the Wingate by Wyndham Hotel in Glen Allen, VA from April15-17, 2016 near Short Pump, with the proximity of the location, I hope you can all attend, contact any Camp

Officer for registration information

I look forward to seeing you at our next meeting on March 1st. Stay warm and safe.
