The Kent Civil War Society does not hold a regular meeting in August. A business meeting will be held on Tuesday, August 11, 2026. All members of the society are invited to attend. Plans for the upcoming year will be discussed.

In order for the Kent Civil War Society to survive and prosper, reinforcements are needed. Members are urged to consider taking an active role in the society's affairs and this meeting is a good place to start.

Speaking of participation - speakers will be needed in 2026-7. Have a particular topic you are interested in? Put together a presentation and share it with the society. It's a good way to focus your thoughts and spend your time on a something you are passionate about. Brian Conrad is scheduling speakers for 2026 and 2027 now.

The meeting will be held in the Roy Smith Shelter at Fred Fuller Park

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

For our July meeting, in recognition of the 250th anniversary of the Declaration of Independence, attendees offered their reflections on the Revolutionary War period. A number of thought-provoking issues were raised. A commen thread running through the evening was that the new nation was formed through the efforts of many talented, though admittedly imperfect, people. Before the discussion, we enjoyed a variety of treats - thanks go out to those who brought them.
