I do have a local Georgia SCV camp involved with this, which means there will be reenactors there, but as of yet I have no idea what they are doing and what other people have done with theirs that DIDNT involve the reenactors. For instance, I plan on writing a speech, having a pastor speak and making a program, so the information/ideas I was looking for dont involve the SCV, its "other" stuff that can be done that I'm looking for Sorry for any confusion as to what I was wanting :) On 4/28/08, Kith-n-Kin <Kith-n-Kin@cox.net> wrote: > > Shannon > > I have not done this either, but you might consider finding out if there's > a > "sons of..." or "daughters of..." in the county.
