Gentlemen we now have 5 life members. The National Dues for Life are $300 up to age 59, $200 between 60-69, $100 70 and over. This is something we should all start saving our pennies for. According to the Division Roster the most Life members any Camp in Georgia has is 8, we now have 5 with a few more prospective Life Memberships in the works. Lets get those dues in and get this behind us. I know we will inevitably lose a few members who just don't have their hearts in the organization but we will keep forging on and recruit new

On to other subjects. For those of you with computers, or access to one, we now have a new website thanks to our Webmaster Stephanie Watkins. She has done an excellent job and adds new things daily. The site has only been up a week or 2 and has already had over 40,000 hits according to the hit counter. Gentlemen we are being watched from allover the world. We are known allover for our activity and have gained quite a bit of attention for our fast growth and short eventful history. We must take full advantage of this and carry on with our fight. Our new site can be seen at: www.scvcamp2022.org
The new site also affords us the chance to have a Guest Book that folks can sign online. This site also gives each member endless e-mail that Stephanie can set up for you with your name/rank@scvcamp2022.org.
Stephanie is as of now working on an online store where we can sell our merchandise that we would normally sell at fundraisers.
On the subject of "fundraisers", we have not had a fundraiser since before the holidays and the kitty is starving. We need to get something going soon. Lets plan another BBQ and shirt sale. We have also started a "Honors Fund" where we will accept donations to help the Camp acquire some uniforms and equipment so that we can do Marker Dedications and Flag Details, along with being able to get into local schools to do live Confederate History presentations. The fund has recently received a $150 donation. This will help buy part of 1 uniform but we must
