Had a fantastic meeting tonight! Awesome presentation by Army of Tennessee Commander Larry McCluney on his new book "The Yazoo Pass Expedition" Welcome to our newest member Jeff Ainsworth!

July 8 - The Rankin Greys will be having their monthly meeting at Los Cazadores on Hwy 49 in Florence. Starts at 7pm. Be there early to get a seat. It's going to be a great meeting!
July 29 - The OCR ride, Roses for Warriors, benefitting the Wounded Warriors of Mississippi will be going from Florence, MS to Hattiesburg, MS. For more details, see www.facebook.com/rosesforwarriors or www.greyrosesocr.com. The site for the Mississippi Wounded Warriors is www.woundedwarriorsofms.com The Rankin Greys no longer have an account with Cafe Press. They deem our logo offensive and will not sell any products with it on there. I will be looking into other "print as you go" online vendors.
We had a great meeting on February 11! We had visitors from SEVERAL other camps come fellowship with us. Larry McCluney, Commander of the Army of Tennessee gave us a living history of the career of General P.G.T. Beauregard that was perfect in its delivery and content. A must hear if you ever get the opportunity! We welcomed Ryan Griffin as our newest 12 year old member of the camp, bringing our current total of 12 year old full members to 3. As a reminder, the cost of a 12 year old's first year of membership into the SCV as a Rankin Grey is covered by the camp. We need to bring these young men in and train them in the true history of their Southern Heritage! We also welcomed Conor Bond and Rock Pfingston as our newest tranfers. We hope you'll join us next month!
