Tennessee Society, Sons of the Revolution

The Board of Managers met on February 19 and discussed plans for the Annual Meeting. Parking may be difficult, so come early. A pewter plate with a picture of the Battle of Bunker Hill, a Sheridan Silver bowl replica of Paul Revere art work, and an 1863 George Washington postal cover will be on the silent auction. The Live Auction will have a Martha Washington plate by Taylor Smith Taylor from the early 30’s, an 1863 Confederate George Washington stamp, and a full/queen hand stitched quilt from about 1950.

Five new members were approved.

The lack of communication with the members was noted, especially with respect to the notice of the Annual Meeting. Any member can leave a comment in this blog, and the news will be presented here. Unfortunately most of the comments so far have come from spammers, and they have been rejected.

At noon on June 6 a Patriotic ceremony commemorating Tennessee, “Home Sweet Home to Me”, McMinn County and Joseph McMinn will be held at the Shiloh Presbyterian Cemetery in Calhoun, Tennessee.

General Society Sons of the Revolution Triennial Meeting will be held September 24-27 at the Hilton Los Angeles North Hotel in Glendale, California and hosted by the Sons of the Revolution in the State of California.
