Our Board of Managers met at Pepper's Grille in Culpeper to plan future programs and efforts. The most important addition to your calendar is the grave marking for Francis Lay at the Lay Family Farm, 3:00pm, Saturday, 11 October (immediately following the Chapter Community Awards Meeting at Prince Michel Winery). Map and details will be furnished closer to the event.
Other notable decisions by the board include:
* We will award Public Safety and Teacher Awards in each of our five counties, but still only forward one to VASSAR.
* We established a committee to plan a suitable marker to inform visitors and to celebrate Cap Gabriel Long who was a Minuteman and also commanded a rifle company in the 11th Virginia during the Revolution. Lon Lacey will chair the committee and so far Bill Schwetke is a member - looking for more.
* We approved the purchase of a Culpeper Minutemen Battle Flag to be presented to the Culpeper Minutemen Chapter of the DAR.
* We approved Lon Lacey's proposal to plan for an enhanced program for next Independence Day in Culpeper to include a banquet on the evening of the 3rd featuring a George Washington reenactor. When Lon presents his plan we will vote on moving forward with it. Jim Bayne and Bill Schwetke will be assisting Lon - more participants in the planning are welcome.
It was very encouraging to have prospective member Price Martin attend the BOM meeting. Price's application should be ready for submission in a couple weeks or less.
