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

A handful of members attended the August business meeting to discuss plans for future activities.

Speakers have been scheduled through March, 2026. There are openings for the remander 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.

Some members are discussing making a field trip to Gettysburg in October. Other members are welcome to join them. If you are interested, come to the September meeting.

Alternative meeting times and/or days were discussed, including an earlier starting time (perhaps 7:00 PM) on the second Tuesday of the month or some day and time on a weekend. The topic may be brought up at the September meeting. If you think a different meeting time or day would make it easier to attend and have others attend, come to the September meeting and be prepared to discuss and perhaps decide. You may also email us at info@kentcivilwar.org .

The preservation fund donations have been quite generous (and our treasurer quite adept at collecting them). 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 expect to vote on a target for a preservation donation at the September meeting.
