The Activities Committee will be leading a group to the outstanding Chickamauga Civil War & Military Show being held at the NW Georgia Convention Center in Dalton, GA. on Saturday, Feb. 4th. The show will have over 400 tables of everything for sale related to the Civil War & other military items too. Lectures are also included at the show all for the $8 entrance fee. Round Table members will meet at the Cracker Barrel, off Chastain Road exit, in Kennesaw for coffee & breakfast and then depart by 8:20am carpooling together to the convention center. This is a wonderful time to get to know other Round Table members and to experience one of the best Civil War Shows in the country.

Start the new year by joining your fellow members for a great trip!
The Activities Committee organized a successful group trip to the Franklin Civil War show in December and had its best crowd ever with 25 members & guests attending the show. Following the show, nationally known tour guide, Tom Cartwright, gave the group a personal tour of the Franklin battlefield area, the grounds of the Carter House, and a tour of the newly opened Lotz House. Tom's tour was thoroughly entertaining & full of personal stories from the men who fought there. The importance of the battle was noted by his observation that "10,000 Americans all fell within 400 yards in one battle". The Activities Committee presented Tom a donation for the Lotz House from funds raised by the committee earlier in the year to help them with their continued renovation of the house. Thanks to all members that attended and have supported our activities during the past year.
