Patrick posted the link to a website that we thought was pretty neat. It's called the Gettysburg Daily and if you have any interest or plan to visit Gettysburg this site is a must to view. The li9nk is on the left of the page but here it is again. Enjoy


The Gettysburg Daily is an independent website, whose purpose is to provide at least one picture a day related in some way to Gettysburg.

Restoration at it's finest.

I received this link from our Treasurer Jack Muldoon. I think this is what we are all about. I would have loved to get involved in this project.

Enjoy!

Oct Update



Lots of good news to report tonight. The Chicago Show was held 10-12 Oct and it was a great success for the APG. We managed to raise around $1800 through new memberships, t-shirt and kit sales, and painted miniature sales. A large amount of that money came from the sale of a donated piece by Doug Cohen and 2 pieces donated by Dutch Allen. Doug's figure of an Upson County Guard is at right. Thanks to everyone that helped out.


We also held our first board of directors/membership meeting. Most of the business centered on the up coming show in Gettysburg. John Jefferies presented his business plan for the show to the members. The show overall was great and I enjoyed every minute of it. Well done once again MMSI.


On the topic of the show. John has reported to me that we have already sold a large number of vendors tables. We had planned on a minimum of 100 tables and we have over half of those committed. In addition Keith Rocco will be setting up in one of the break out rooms with some of his original art work and prints. Keith's displays are always inspiring. The Atlanta club under the direction of David Oswalt and Matt Springer have volunteered to run the registration for us. Mike Hall along with Jon Harbuck will head up the judging. I will be doing the tours and awards. We have some great ideas on the tours and the awards will be a bit different than the norm. I'll have more on both down the road a bit. I have also just verified that Mr. Bob Bradley from the Alabama Dept of Archieves is planning on bring the flag of the 5th Alabama Bn with him for us to view. As you may know the conservation of that flag is our project for the year
