The week of July 19th the yearly National SAR 135th Congress was being held in Uncasville Connecticut and a few of the members of the Camp Charlotte chapter were in attendance. President Kevin Driesbach and our chapter Chaplin Tony Robinson were present as well as many others on the OHSSAR level.
July 5th the Ohio Society of the S.A.R was asked to be present again at the Veterans day at the zoo event. Many of the various VA benefit groups were all gather under the pavilion and many Vets came through and asked question about who we were and what we did. They provided a nice simple meal and entertainment for all those Vets that came by. The members of the Ohio Society of the S.A.R presented various pieces of historical items to teach what life 250 years ago would have had in it, many of the kids and adults that came by were fascinated by the age and what was used as money back then. Overall this event was well represented by Hocking valley members, VA representative Steve Conrad, State Color Guard commander Bob Hill, past OHSSAR president Don Miller the Camp Charlotte Chapter President Kevin Driesbach and chapter member Max Demp.
