February Lord Craven Meeting February 15, 2020

Dear Dames,

Your Lord Craven Courier for February in attached.  Enjoy!! 

Our next meeting will be on Saturday, February 15th at Carolina BBQ 11:30 am.  Doors open at 11.  The program will be a presentation by our own Ruth-Anne Bolz who will bring us “Eliza Lucas Pinckney of South Carolina, and Early Colonial Woman.”

And then Carol Jutte will be holding a workshop on Heraldry and Coats of Arms after the meeting.  We will have the room until three, so there will be an hour or so in which we can ask questions and learn how to research and recognize our ancestors’ Coats of Arms.  Please try to stay for this event! 

See you on the 15th!

Cindy

Wreaths Across America - Offering a 2 for 1 Purchase - Buy 1 Wreath Get a Second One for Free - Offer Ends January 15th. Let's Put a Wreath on Every Veteran's Grave at Wilmington National Cemetery in 2020. Read the Note Under the Photo for Directions on How to Purchase a Wreath On-Line or by Phone.

Dear Dames,

I know you weren’t thinking about Wreaths Across America, but just for the next week, perhaps you should.  WAA has promised to match the number of wreaths we sponsor just through January 15th.  This will almost ensure all the graves at Wilmington National will be covered next Christmas.  This applies to all of the fundraising organizations, but as your President, I am most hopeful you will consider purchasing through Colonial Dames 17th Century Lord Craven Chapter.  You are in the blog,  click on the Wreaths Across America tab on the right-hand side.  When the next page comes up, click in the lower middle the website address in blue.  You will go directly to the WAA page for Colonial Dames 17C with our code number NC0008p.  I just did this and we have sold 0 wreaths so far.  Not unexpected of course.  But now that we know about the matching wreaths from WAA, we might just want to buy a couple.  January 15 is the last day of the matching deal. Each wreath costs. $15.00.

Thanks, ladies, and an early Merry Christmas to you!
