Month: July 2024

So Saturday the 27th members of Camp Charlotte SAR and the Pickaway Plains DAR attended the festivities at the Mount Oval Down on the farm event. We were placed in a nice shaded barn with a cool breeze which was welcomed, many other activities were available all center around 1700 – 1800 farm life with a few modern exceptions the Log cabin was built shortly before Ohio became a state and was moved to the grounds as a museum of early life on the Ohio frontier, it is currently being restore to period correct as possible be used as an example of early life, but safety has to be followed so some things need to come up to code.. Many passed through and were curious as who the SAR and DAR were and some were even interested in learning more with new memberships possible.

This something Camp Charlotte has not been a part of for a while, but one of our members had the opportunity to welcome a co-worker who had just completed his naturalization requirements. The ceremony took place at the Potter Stewart Federal Courthouse in downtown Cincinnati. The Cincinnati Chapter of the SAR was there to welcome the 60 new citizens with one of them being a co-worker of compatriot Max Demp. With the help of other department personnel they set up a surprise welcoming at work for Cris Lopez. When he saw what we set up for him he was grinning from ear to ear.

After last years success at the 4th of the 4th of July event we were asked to be the Color Guard unit for the 2024 parades both the 1st at 7:00 pm and the 4th at 11:00 AM. Had many show up from the Camp Charlotte Color Guard unit to take part.
