WHAT HAPPENED AT THE DECEMBER MEETING?
Members heard a report from Herb Jackson on the possible move of the "Zagonyi's Charge" monument from its current location (Mount Vernon Street and Kansas Expressway in Springfield) to a more suitable location in Zagonyi Park in time for the 150th anniversary of the charge in 2011. Herb reported that the University Club is in favor of such a move. He will now contact the landowner and the City of Springfield to get their approval.
Members were encouraged to contribute material to the new Phelps Camp blog (www.phelpscamp.blogspot.com).
The camp agreed to hold elections at the January meeting.
Camp members discussed various activities for 2010, including at least two "Parade of the Soldier" events and a possible tour of the Springfield National Cemetery.
