CEMETERY CLEAN-UP

 

A reminder that we are planning to meet this Saturday morning (April 26th) at Mt Hope Cemetery.  I'll see you at the Confederate Soldiers monument at 9AM.  The plan is to clean up (or repair) the Crosses of Honor on the graves of the veterans in preperation for Confederate Memorial Day.

 

What To Bring:

• small hand brush
• flat black spray paint (in case some crosses need touching up)
• children or grand children - they will have fun
• bottle of water

The weather forcast for Saturday is VERY nice - sunny with a high near 80F.  If we get a good crowd, we should finish by 11:00 before it gets to warm.  This will only take about two hours out of your day and you will have the rest of the afternoon to do other things.  Please plan to attend and I will look forward to seeing you all on Saturday! 

 

Sincerely,

 

Ron York

Commander

 

PS...Just in case there are some folks that dont know where Mt Hope cemetery is - it is located downtown florence at the intersection of National Cemetery and Dargan Streets.

FUTURE ACTIVITIES

I hope this note finds you all doing well. I want to remind you of a few items that are coming up soon.

First - our meeting DATE and LOCATION have been changed. We now meet on the 4th Monday of the month which is April 28th this month. The Meeting Location is Western Sizzlin across from Magnolia Mall. We will meet at 7pm and our guest speaker this month is Liz Collins speaking on a veterans project.

Cemetery Work Date - at Mt Hope on Saturday, April 26th - 9am at the soldiers monument. Come out, bring your kids or grand kids. Get them involved, that is what the SCV is all about - preserving, protecting and perpetuating the true history of the South. My children always look forward to working with the 'farmer'. (they call Jimmy Gamble the farmer because he usually wears overalls and a hat). Plan to come, bring a friend - we need your help. The more the merrier and faster we will get done. We should be finished by noon.

Flags placed on the graves on Friday, May 9th at 9am. Anyone that can help - please come.
