Each year the camp's General Grant Committee solicits “Memorials and Boosters”
from our members and from organizations to help us defray the cost of a wreath,
ribbons and some printed programs. “Memorials” honor our Civil War ancestors
or deceased brothers. “Boosters” allow organizations to demonstrate their support
of the Annual Commemoration of having their name and address appear in the printed program.
Your financial support of this effort is very much appreciated. Please complete the
below submission form and return it with your check,
Thank you for your consideration and continued support.
We remain,
Yours in Fraternity, Charity and Loyalty,
The General Grant Committee
