Ladies, I previously mentioned that I have a complete set of Alabama Division Yearbook and Minutes from 1995, the year I joined, until now except for one year I missed purchasing.  If anybody has a 1997 Division Yearbook they would part with, please let me know.  It's not a "big deal" and I have no reason for wanting it except that I'm a little bit OCD and like things to be orderly and complete.  LOL       Thanks,        Lynda Lowery        Division President 2010-2012       

Many thanks to Gwen William's, Pat Godwin and all those who volunteer to help during our Confederate Memorial Day Service at the Capitol. I will do my very best to be there and help if needed.

Good morning UDC Daughters! I received an email back from General and Mary Valentino, the Executive Secretary, asked me to send her apologies as the staff at the Business Office did not know the Newman Bros. went out of business but she stated that she has alerted them and they are now instructed to forward any marker requests to the Grave Markers Chair. Again, as soon as the new vendor information for member markers and non-member wife and daughter markers is finalized and updated I will let the membership know and get the new order forms, etc. on our new Division website behind the firewall. Have a wonderful day in DIXIE, Lori Adams Grave Markers Chair AL Division UDC

Alabama Division officers and members, thank you for the opportunity to serve on the CMD Committee, thank you for all for the financial support and many thanks to individuals who have volunteered to assist in various ways. You are truly appreciated by Pat Godwin and Gwen Williams. EVENT Monday, April 22, 2019. CONFEDERATE MEMORIAL DAY sponsored by AL DIV UDC 10:00 a.m. Capitol Grounds in Montgomery at the memorial site. Many of our Confederate soldiers and sailors have no grave marker. Pictured is a memorial to all who served the CSA from Alabama. At this event, security will be present in large force. Improper behavior for a memorial service will not be tolerated. 50 seats will be available along with seating on the Capitol steps. You are also welcome to bring your own folding seat. Our keynote speaker Col. John Eidsmoe, 1860's period music by Kim Shannon and Southern Spirit, a word from Pres. Davis, Confederate widow, cannon, bagpipes, bugler Raymond Keel, ancestor roll call and much more. What is ancestor roll call?
