BLURB
COMPATRIOTS, I WOULD LIKE TO PASS ON MY CONDOLENCES AND PRAYERS TO THE
VICTIMS OF THE FIRES, WHAT A
HELLISH WEEK..
I HAVE TALKED TO PAST COMPATRIOT JOHN LEWIS A COUPLE OF TIMES IN THE
LAST COUPLE OF WEEKS AND HE IS
FIRED UP AND MOTIVATED. JOHN LEWIS (AKA THE SQUID) HAS STARTED THE LONG
HARD ROAD FOR A NEW SCV
CAMP IN MISSOURI. JOHN LEWIS IS GETTING A LOT OF SUPPORT FROM THE
COMMUNITY AND WILL NO DOUBT BE A
VERY SUCCESSFUL CAMP. THIS IS NOT AN OVERNIGHT TASK. IT TAKES A LOT
OF DEVOTION AND WORK TO GET A
NEW CAMP GOING. I WISH HIM THE BEST OF LUCK ON THIS VERY HONORABLE GOAL.
ONE VICTIM OF THE FIRE WAS OUR PLANNED RECITAL AT MESA COLLEGE. ERNIE
POWELL HAD A GREAT PROGRAM
LINED UP. IF YOU HAVE NEVER HEARD ERNIE PLAY AND SING, YOU HAVE REALLY
MISSED SOME FINE HARMONICA
PLAYING AND SINGING! I WOULD LIKE TO THANK ERNIE, DEANNE, IRA AND GUS
FOR REALLY PUTTING THIS RECITAL
TOGETHER. I WISHED IT WOULD OF HAPPENED, WE WOULD OF REACHED MANY
COLLEGE STUDENTS.
THE JANUARY MEETING WILL BE THE ELECTION MEETING, EVERY MEMBER NEEDS
TO LOOK AT BECOMING AN
OFFICER. THERE ARE MANY MEMBERS WITH SOME GREAT IDEAS AND GOALS, PLEASE
LOOK AT THE OFFICER
BILLETS AND RUN FOR ONE OF THE BILLETS! YOU DO NOT HAVE TO CURRENTLY BE
AN OFFICER TO RUN FOR ANY
OFFICER BILLET, INCLUDING COMMANDER! SO GET OUT THERE AND GO FOR IT!
WHEN WE ALL MEET OUR
ANCESTORS - WILL YOU BE ABLE TO LOOK AT THAT PROUD CONFEDERATE SOLDIER
IN THE EYE AND SAY 'I
CONTINUED THE FIGHT FOR YOU AND OUR COUNTRY"
THE MOTHER GOOSE PARADE IS COMING UP REAL FAST. I HAVE ORDERED THE
"BONNIE BLUE", 1ST NATIONAL AND
SECOND NATIONAL FLAGS TO CARRY FOR THE PARADE. WE HAVE A 3 MAN SUPPORT
TEAM, GEORGE FAIRCLOTH,
MIKE SCHOOLING AND STEVE SMITH. WE ARE STILL WORKING ON THE COLOR
GUARD/ WAGON TEAM. WE ARE STILL
LOOKING FOR PEOPLE TO GET "COOTERED" UP AND FLY THE COLORS. WE WILL TRY
TO AVOID TOO MUCH WALKING,
DEPENDS ON HOW MANY FOLKS WE GET. WE ARE HOPING THE FIRE DID NOT GET
THE WAGON, THAT WILL REALLY
CHANGE OUR PARADE PLANS.
CAMP 302 IS ON A ROLL, LETS KEEP IT AND KEEP THINKING OF WAYS TO KEEP
OUR MEMBERS ACTIVE AND
EDUCATING THE PUBLIC!
FOR THE CAUSE,
STEVE
COMMANDER
CAMP 302
