We are months into our new 2011-2012 year and this is my first post! Between moving this summer, being swamped at work and taking on new responsibilities at work-- I've been a little remiss in posting on our super-duper blog.
So to catch everyone up... The 4th Thursday in September and October we met at Mill Creek Church. We were excited to have several prospective members at each of these meetings! The September meeting was lead by our secretary who gave a presentation on the Carington Plantation in Franklin, TN. She was fortunate enough to travel to the historic site over the summer. We also discussed several new and old business issues-- some of which included our Spring dedication of the new Confederate Grave Markers that we installed.
At our October meeting we wrote thank you notes to all those who donated money to our Grave Marker Project as well as discussed old and new business. In all I believe we wrote over 30+ thank yous! At this time we have been asked by the historic site to fund the roadside pull-off signs and at this time we have not decided if we will be able to afford to do so. In addition to helping the site and possibly raising some more funds, we have been approached by the historic site about helping them organize a Fall History Walk that would be around Halloween 2012. Many of our present members were excited about the opportunity and it was decided that we would like to find out more information from the site. Also we were pleased to hear that we were awarded a grant to help finish funding the grave marker project.
I hope to post pictures of our dedication ceremony as well as pictures of the grave yard soon. If you have pictures that you would like to see posted in this blog, please send them to my email address.
Our next meeting will be November 17th, 2011. We would normally meet on the 4th Thursday but that is Thanksgiving (can you believe it is already November). We hope to see you at our next meeting!
