| Bethel Heroes Chapter #636
Rocky Mount Bethel Heroes Chapter 636 was quite busy in the fall with hosting the Division Convention in Rocky Mount. Thanks to the hard work of our members and great help form the other chapters in District VIII, the convention was well planned and executed. In November we had a yard sale to raise money for the restoration of our Confederate Monument in Rocky Mount. Weathering and vandalism has taken its toll on the monument and it is the goal of our chapter to see it restored to its original beauty. In December, we signed 20 Christmas cards for the Veterans at the Durham VA Medical center and sent money to the Salisbury VA Medical Center for the Veterans hospitalized there. We had also been busy working on our membership. Since October, we have had papers for two new members approved and one re-instatement. Currently, we have two sets of papers at General and three prospective members are hard at work on their applications. We have lost two dear members, Mary Tippens Rutherford and Lillian Young White. We will miss these dear ladies who added so much to our chapter over the years. Our heartfelt sympathy goes to their family members. At Division Convention in October, four Crosses of Military Service Awards were presented to men who were either family or friends of chapter members. At General Convention in November, two CMSA were submitted and approved from our Chapter. This created a renewed interest in CMSA and, as a result, several of our members are now working to prepare CMSA for their family members. Our big project for the year has been the publication of our cookbook, Specialties of Our Houses. All recipes-22 different categories on 260 pages-are “tried and true”. All proceeds from the sale of the book will go to the fund for the restoration of the Confederate Monument. Copies can be ordered for $20, which includes postage and handling. Checks should be make payable to Bethel Heroes 636 and mailed to P.O. Box 64, Nashville, NC 27856. |
