WEST VIRGINIA COMMANDERY

MOLLUS

NOW FORMING

An attempt to reactivate the West Virginia Commandery of MOLLUS is being undertaken.  If you are a lineal or collateral descendant of a Union Commissioned Officer and reside in West Virginia, Southwestern Pennsylvania or South Eastern Ohio and wish to be a charter member of this Commandery, please contact Richard Orr, PCinC (suvcworr@aol.com) for further information.  We are planning an organizational meeting for late March or early April somewhere in the West Virginia Panhandle.

For those Brothers who need the popular Gold Metal Kepi Hat Badge or the Gold Threaded Blazer Pocket Patch, these may now be ordered using a downloadable order sheet available at the Department of Michigan web page, i.e.    http://www.suvcwmi.org/store/    . Visit our “Merchandise Page” and tell your brothers about this new feature.

Brian Shumway, Department Treasurer
Department of Michigan, SUVCW   

Brothers - If you haven't already heard, our camp has produced an ornament and is selling them in order to raise money for a monument that we would like to erect in Luray, Va. to honor the men - blue and gray - who held a reunion there in July 1881 and later in Carlisle, Pa. in Sept. 1881. In many ways, we feel that the effort of soldiers in years after the war, in reunions such as these, fulfilled an important part of President Lincoln's vision for the country in years after the war - reunified in peace. If we can raise enough money, we would also like to place a state historic marker at Carlisle, Pa. for the reunions. For details about the ornament and the challenge we have made to the respective departments, please see: http://www.geocities.com/bluegrayvirginians/SUVCWFundraisingChallenge.html Thanks in advance for your orders! 

In F., C., & L., Robert Moore
