Now that the dog days of summer have arrived I still hope everyone is taking advantage of the many programs and seminars being presented by the NPS and other organizations. Our RoundTable has two good field programs coming up in July and August. First our own Joe Mieczkowski will be doing "Street Fighting in Gettysburg" This will be a look at the fighting that occurred in the town itself during the battle and Joe also being a town guide as well as a battlefield guide will have some great stories.
On August 26 Scott Hartwig will be doing "Davis' Brigade 1 July 1863" This is the same program Scott did for the anniversary but this time we probably won't have 400 people so you will be able to hear Scott.
Both of these programs will begin at 6:00 PM, Joe's will start from the GAR Hall on Middle Street and Scott's from the lane to the Wills Farm on Buford Avenue.
At our last meeting at the GAR Hall in May I had mentioned to our members that if they had any ideas for preservation projects our RoundTable could get involved in to let myself or any board member know. The Board has some ideas but we would really like to hear from our members as well on anything they think would be important for our organization to get involved in.
Also Dave Joswick who is doing a great job on our newsletter would really like to have more material. Some of our members have sent some material to Dave but he can always use more, so anything you can get to Dave would be appeciated. These could be articles you wrote, newspaper clippings with stories, interesting facts, bios, whatever. Our newsletter is one of the best in the roundtable community and we would like to continue this by giving Dave the material he can use.
In closing I hope everyone has a great summer and I'll see you on the field.
