The Kent Civil War Society does not hold a regular meeting in August. A business meeting will be held on Tuesday, August 13, 2024. 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 2025. 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 2025 now.

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

*****

Attendees at the July meeting learned from society member Mark Perkins a bit about what officers did to pass the time during the Civil War - logistics, training, administration, planning and campaigns and battles, all supported by paperwork. Lots and lots of paperwork. Mark also brought some period and reproduction manuals and documents for examination.
