Lee honoring Jackson
The Goldsboro Rifles, The Dr. B. T. Person and the Smithfield Light Infantry Camps are hosting a Lee & Jackson Banquet. Please come and help us celebrate the birthdays of these two great men and Confederate leaders. It is General Lee’s 206th and General Jackson’s 189th birthday
We are proud to have as our speaker for this banquet, a fellow SCV member, Mike Parker from Kinston, NC. Mike is a member of the CSS Neuse Camp in Kinston. He has spoken at this event before. If you have been fortunate enough to hear him, well, then you know what an asset he is to the SCV in conveying the real meaning of what we stand for.
We are very pleased to have as our returning entertainer this year, Mr. Jimmy Aycock, who is a very well known pianist here in eastern North Carolina. I know you will be as pleased with his musical offerings as many of us have been for years.
The meal, served buffet style, will consist of King’s barbecue, fried chicken, Brunswick stew, slaw, potatoes, tea and hushpuppies.
If you would like to be a part of this special celebration, please send your check made out to Allen Aycock--$30.00 for a couple--$15.00 for a single to:
Allen G. Aycock, Sr.
1128 Aycock Dairy Farm Road
Fremont, NC 27830
Please try to send it to Allen by January 14, 2013.
Please feel free to pass this along to ANYONE that you think might like to attend. You do not have to belong to the SCV to be a part of this celebration. It is open to all Gen. Lee and Gen. Jackson admirers.
We will be having a silent auction again this year to raise money for the Gen. Joseph E. Johnston Monument. We encourage you to bring items for the auction. Who knows, someone else may bring just what you have been looking for and you might bring what he or she has been looking for. Items do not have to be War Between the States theme items, just any items you would like to donate to help us with the monument.
For questions, you may email me at gnfields@msn.com or call me at 919-778-9565.
Hope to see you at the banquet,
Glenn Fields
No greater men ever lived than Lee and Jackson. I am envious of anyone who gets to attend this affair.
