Save the date, please -- Saturday, Feb. 1 – for the Camp and Auxiliary's Patriotic Luncheon.

It will be our 55th annual!!! Think about that: For more than half a century, our people, and our predecessors in the groups, and in some cases their predecessors, teamed up to honor Lincoln, Washington and McKinley. And before that, the Camp and Auxiliary were doing this in the formats held before the idea of a daytime luncheon came up.

Author Steven Rogstad of Racine, Wis., will speak about Lincoln and the Temperance movement.

Here is the first page of flyer; in early December we'll also post the second, with the RSVP details and how to buy an ad in the program to salute your ancestors, tout your history group or otherwise publicize your name.
