Why: To celebrate the birthdays of Generals
Robert E. Lee and Jonathan "Stonewall" Jackson
Who: Anyone who cherishes the memory of these two
Southern heroes
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 207th and
General Jackson’s 190th birthday.
We are proud to have
as our speaker for this banquet, one of our own, editor of our Confederate
Veteran magazine, Frank B. Powell III.
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 family
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/couple--$15.00/
Allen G. Aycock, Sr.
1128 Aycock Dairy Farm Road
Fremont, NC 27830
Please send it to Allen by January 11, 2014 so we can give the restaurant a head count in time for them to prepare for us. In the past, quite a few have waited to pay at the door. When you do that, we cannot give the restaurant an accurate head count, so, please, send your check to Allen. It really helps us as we want to have enough food and seating for everyone. Thanks for your co-operation.
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 General Lee and General Jackson
admirers.
We will be having a silent
auction again this year to raise money for the General 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.
Please forgive me if you get multiples of this invitation. I am using several sources for addresses.
Hope to see you at the banquet,
Glenn Fields
