As Southern Gentlemen we are all preordained to speak our minds and will always have disagreements. Be aware of the mode and moral of your members. Maintain the standards of genological documentation and verification that all of your compatriots expect of their officers. Also, continue your efforts to welcome all compatriots and guests with consistent offerings of lively discussions, roundtables, artifact displays, as well as special presentions and programs to ensure that your meetings are well attended. However, I want to emphasize that I want to add new members to camps with strong and active membership bases.
Lets look for quality with quantity rather than sacrificing one for the other.
I will continue to encourage the establishment of new camps in areas where we lack adequate representation. I have established a Division Public Relations Committee that will spearhead our Division efforts to paint a postive light on all of our activities in as many of the major media forums as possible to include print, radio, television. The Color Guard will have both a Color Sergeant and a Second Sergeant who will back up the Color Sergeant when he is unavailable. The criteria for leadership on the Color Guard will be committment, enthausium, and ability. I would prefer that the Color Sergeant and Second Sergeant come from different camps but this factor will be secondary to the ability of the two man chosen for these posts.
