Did Santa bring you a wonderful Civil War item last year that you've just been dying to share with the group? Or maybe you've finished a great book about your favorite Civil War general, and have the urge to tell the world about it (or at least those of us in this world who would be interested). Then take some time out to join us for what has become a fun, annual tradition; our "Show and Tell" presentation.

At this meeting, YOU are the featured presentation, as our members share tidbits of Civil War information. Be it a new, favorite book; a family artifact, a Civil War story; or the latest find on eBay, we gather around the table and share our stuff.

This month our meeting will be one week earlier because of the holiday. And rather than adjourning after dinner to our library location (which is already booked by another group on this earlier date), we shall clear the dinner table at Robin's Restaurant, and have our members' "Show & Tell" provide the dessert. This format provides a more informal evening; and we really have some of our best informational exchanges here. Not to mention, the opportunity to see things you might never have seen before. Of course, you're welcome to come and just sit back and listen, as well.

Please join us as we celebrate the season, and share our knowledge of the great conflict between the North and South.
