Confederate Memorial Day June 6th

One of the most important days of the year for our camp will soon be here (and there won’t be another newsletter in between the camp meeting on the 20th, and CMD on June 6th to remind you, so mark your calendars!). We will gather with the ladies of the UDC at the Confederate section of Lexington Cemetery, 3pm on Sunday, June 6th. Always a solemn, beautiful occasion that you’ll want to be a part of. It also presents you with a chance to visit some important gravesites, such as the six Confederate generals interred in the Lexington cemetery (including Breckinridge and Morgan).

Camp Meeting May 20th at Old Courthouse

This month we join with the members of the Lexington History Museum for their lecture series, which just happens to be our own Sam Flora speaking on Lexington during the War. This will be a chance for us to mingle with some other historically-minded folks, let them see what the SCV is all about, maybe even do a little recruiting. Please note that this is the 3rd Thursday of the month, not our usual 2nd Thursday.  The 7:30 p.m. start time still allows those who wish to get dinner at Columbia’s—just around the corner from the old courthouse where the LHM meets - to do so. While we won’t have a room reserved, I’m sure Columbia’s wouldn't mind some familiar faces dropping by before heading over to the LHM lecture. The LHM meets on the third floor, in the courtroom, of the old Fayette County courthouse. If you want to communicate with others in the camp about meeting to eat at Columbia’s beforehand, you can always use the camp list-server (email address: john-c-breckinridge-scv-100@googlegroups.com). An email sent to that address goes to everyone on the list (which is most of the camp). If you haven’t joined the camp list yet,  you can go to the website (http://groups.google.com/group/john-c-breckinridge-scv-100 ) and submit a request, or just email Don Shelton at sheltonreb@qx.net.
