Commanders Comment:
SCV Headquarters has been advised that our By-laws have been amended to comply with the IRS/SCV agreement to qualify for blanket tax exempt status. This will preclude Camp 1382, and all other camps covered by the blanket tax exemption, from filing an annual N-990 Form with the IRS.
Since Easter falls on the fourth Sunday this year, our March meeting will be held on Sunday, March 30, 2008. Lunch will begin at 1:00 P.M. with the program beginning at 2:00 P.M. at the Village Garden Café’. Bobby Wilcox will be our speaker and his topic will be, “International Economic Impact of the War.” This is a very interesting and important topic, but one which is often neglected in discussions of the War Between the States.

Cannon Report:
A number of special events will be coming up in April to celebrate the Confederate History and Heritage Month including the 49th Annual SCV Convention in Richmond. In addition, June will be very active with the celebration of Jefferson Davis’s 200th Birthday. Specific events and dates will be discussed at the March meeting. We hope you can attend.
I have enclosed a copy of the Parade information. I hope you can attend; it is always nice to see a big turnout for this event. I’ve also included a few events that occurred during the War of Northern Aggression for the month of March 1861-1865.
