***** Society News & Information *****

We had one of our largest gatherings in years at the October meeting. A lively back and forth on the question "Which battle doomed the Confederacy - Gettysburg, Vicksburg or Atlanta?" was enjoyed, with a strong challenge by the late entry Chattanooga. In the end, the winner by a vote of the attendees was Vicksburg.

Alternative meeting times and/or days were discussed at recent meetings, including an earlier starting time (perhaps 6:00 PM or 7:00 PM) on the second Tuesday of the month or some day and time on a weekend. The topic was brought up at the September and October meetings and a vote will be taken at the November meeting. Come to the November meeting and be prepared to discuss and to vote on what will be our meeting day and time going forward. You may also email us at info@kentcivilwar.org .

Presentations have been scheduled through May, 2026. There are openings for the remainder of 2026 and members are encouraged to give a presentation. It's a good way to focus on a Civil War topic of personal interest and contribute to the society.

If you have suggestions for worthy Civil War preservation or education related causes we should consider donating to, please record it on the sheet placed at the preservation donation display at most meetings, let Mark Perkins know or email us at info@kentcivilwar.org .

We have collected over $100 for preservation again, so a vote on a target for a donation will be held at the November meeting.
