Gentlemen,
 
I want to remind you that the Pee Dee Rifles meet on the 4th Tuesday at Venus Pancake House at 7pm.  Our next meeting is THIS TUESDAY, February 23rd.  Please make your plans now to be there.  We have a good program lined up and there is some important business to discuss.  Come out for some good food, fellowship and history.
 
Reminders:

STATE CONVENTION
The State Convention is now about 30 days away.  I need for you to do two things.  First, BE THERE!  We need your help to make this event a success.  Camp members can register for $25.  That isnt to much to ask - come on guys, we need your help.  We need 6 workers on Friday night and 14 workers on Saturday.  So far, I only have 11 people registered from our camp.  Below are the members who have registered. 
 
Ron York, Lee Galloway, Vic Phillips, Allen Kelly, Steve Morris, J R Fisher, Carl Hill, Steven Moore, Jimmy Gamble, Marvin Privette, Jack De Witt (thank you for registering)
 
Second, Bring your HISTORIC 3x5 Confederate Flags (No hybrids or spin offs please).  We still need about 20 more flags to fully complete our dedorations at the SIMT.  Final planning, preparation and assignments will be settled at our March meeting.
 
RED DOE ANNUAL FUNDRAISER
The Oink & Oyster roast will be Saturday, March 13th.  Tickets are $40 per person.  We could use some help selling tickets if you know anyone who may be interested in helping the cause.  See Lee Galloway, Vic Phillips or Carl Hill at the meeting Tuesday.

Brigade Commanders,
This information needs to go out to your camps immediately. I want to be included on your forward to the camps so that I can see who is responding to this communications request.

Commanders,
The 2010 South Carolina Division convention is just over 5 weeks away. This year is an election year for the SC Division and elections will be held for new division officers. The will be a constitutional amendment presented for vote to the delegation. Camps are encouraged to attend to cast their votes and perpetuate the future of the organization.
The convention this year will be held in Florence, SC on March 26 and 27th. The registration fee is currently 60.00 and includes the luncheon and a convention medal. On March 1, 2010 the cost will rise to $70.00 until the day of the convention. The host camp needs to know if you attending as early as possible for catering counts. Once the host camp confirms the count with the caterer, the numbers cannot change. The same applies for convention medals. The following is from the registration packet:

All early and regular registrations include the Friday Night Social, Memorial Service, Awards Luncheon and Registration Packet. Registration Packet includes Reunion Medal, Ribbon, Convention Program Booklet & name badge.
Late registration attendees will receive a name badge and lunch (medals, ribbons and program booklets available as supplies last.)

There are only a limited number of programs and medals. Go to the following link to download the registration packet. "GET IT NOW BEFORE THE COST GOES UP"
Please encourage your camps to send delegates.
Regards,

David E. Rentz
Chief of Staff
SC Division

***Red Doe Annual Fundraiser - Saturday March 13th***

Gentlemen,
 
I am pleased to announce the annual Red Doe Plantation fundraiser in parnership with the Florence Home Builders Association.  It will be held at Red Doe Plantation on Saturday, March 13th.  We need to sell 200 tickets for the event and need your help to make sure the word gets out.  We must sell every one of them to make the fundraiser a success!
 
Tickets for the Oink & Oysters are $40 in advance and $50 at the door.  If you sell 15 tickets, you will receive a free ticket.  In order to receive an additional free ticket members must perform a minimum of 10 hours of service in preparation for the event and work a shift the night of the event. By selling your tickets and working for Red Doe you have the potential to receive 2 free tickets.  Sandy Kendall will coordinate the work efforts at Red Doe and keep track of your hours worked. 
Ryan Hicks, who prepared the oysters last year will also prepare all the food this year.  If you haven't tried his sauce you should! It's called Backyard BBQ. Local grocery stores and the Butcher Shop sell it.  There will also be an open bar with soft drinks, beer and wine.
 
We are also seeking donors/sponsors to help cover our expenses. Our goal is to get at least $5000 in sponsors. Sponsors will help cover costs such as:  Event Insurance, Tent Rental, Port a johns, Security, Trash Bags, Plates, Napkins, and various other expenses.....
 
Please stop by the Museum and see Carl Hill to purchase your tickets.  We really need your help getting the word out - this is our ANNUAL fundraiser.  Please note the original date of the event was moved up one week from Mar 20 to Mar 13 due to potential conflict with another event. 
 
For more information, please contact me or any of the below listed Red Doe Board Members:
 
Vic Phillips - President
Sandy Kendall - Vice President
Kevin Lassen - Secretary
Lee Galloway - Treasurer
Carl Hill - Member
 
Thank you,
 
Ron York
