May 19th, 2011 Amanda hosted our May meeting. After the business part of the meeting Amanda told us about another UDC chapter that raised several thousands of dollars for a monument back in the start of the 20th century.
She also read a speech from the dedication of the monument that focused on being proud of one's ancestory but also being proud of the country we live in and the great nation that we belong.
It was decided at our last meeting that our last meeting for the year will be at Meadow Village Restaurant on June 9th, 2011. The phone tree will be activated to make sure everyone is aware.
Confederate Memorial Day was held on Saturday, May 21st. We met at the "ball" monument and a short program was held. I hope to post pictures soon.
Most importanly, June 11th will be the dedication of the unknown confederate markers. Please make plans to come. The ceremony will start at 2:00pm. However, June 11th is the start of the summer programs for the site, so there will be activities going on all day. Come out and bring your family!
If you have any questions about the 11th program, please let me know. I check my email regularly...
I plan to post pictures soon!
