Sept 9, 2017 Meeting

We had another full house and a great meeting last night with 2 speakers!  Guests included National CIC Tom Strain and his wife, AOT Commander Larry McCluney and his wife, and Mississippi Division Commander Jeff Barnes.  Al Arnold was with us telling the story of his ancestor Turner Hall, a black confederate and Robert E. Lee's orderly.  He had on hand copies of his first book for sale, and 2 copies of his newest book for review.  After his presentation, Commander in Chief Tom Strain spoke and gave us an update on the current state of affairs in the SCV and some monument updates.  We welcomed Mike Merritt to the camp as our newest associate member and voted in new camp member Robert Richardson on recommendation of Jeff Ainsworth.  We also presented Los Cazadores, our meeting host restaurant with a certificate of appreciation for their continued support of the camp.  Right before the meeting started, we got the privilege of checking out the new SCV motorcycle tags that will be available in October.  If you have a motorcycle, pick one up and support the Mississippi Division SCV!
