Hot Days, Sunshine, Flags Flyin'... It's Summertime!

Greetings y'all! I hope you're enjoying the warmth that summer brings upon us. Even up here deep in Yankee territory, it's the perfect time of the year for us to have our flags flying high for all to see! While most people include the words "summer" and "vacation" together, summer can often be one of the busiest times of the year. Even vacation has a sort of business to it as we get ready and make plans for our trips.

Pres. Jefferson Davis Birthday Picnic, SCV Camp 1321
Summer time has already been busy for those of us in Admiral Raphael Semmes Camp #1321, as we held our biggest and most important election recently at our annual President Jefferson Davis Birthday Picnic & Meeting.

I'd like to say that as one of those elected, it was a great honor to be chosen for higher service in the camp, and congratulations to all of the others who were elected to serve for the next two years.

Before I close, I'd like to remind all camp members that your annual membership dues are currently being collected. If you're a member of the camp and have not yet done so, please mail in your dues before August 1st. If you have any questions about your dues, contact our Camp Adjutant, Frank Peters, for more information at the following address:   scv_semmes_1321@yahoo.com
