More updates for the troops
Camp of Instruction
I received the registrations from Art today and currently our numbers are 112 Military and 23 Civilians. I have had quite a few e-mails in the past two weeks from folks who were coming and paying the walk on fee.
You are still welcome to come to the COI and I encourage all to do so. Walk on fee is $8.00, please pay the Adjutant at the site when you come in.
For the ladies I would greatly appreciate all women who plan to walk on to drop me a note. We are making up quite a bit of printed materials for the lecture and don't want to be caught short. Please e-mail Tzusman@aol.com to reserve your spot.

Relief Efforts for Historic Sites on the Gulf Coast
I have received early reports of an effort that is being headed by the Museum of the Confederacy to help collect donations for the museums hit hard by hurricane Katrina.
Corps members Charlie Knight and Johnny Glazebrook (both of the 44th VA) are looking into the possibility of gathering donations for this effort. We will pass the hat at the COI and Cedar Creek.
Mixed reports are coming in from Jefferson Davis' home and we have heard that the D-Day Museum in New Orleans physically came out OK but the collection was extensively looted.

Other Fund Raisers currently going on.
The 47th Virginia is coming close to its goal of raising funds for the preservation of an original 47th VA flag. Folks who donate at least $35.00 will also receive a one year membership to the museum of the Confederacy. For more information please contact Bill Russell at jillinva@aol.com.
Tony Zusman is working to raise funds for a grand ball to be held in Richmond in September of 2006. Raffle prize is a new 3-Band Enfield Rifle. Tickets are $5.00 each or 5 for $20.00
Pie Palooza II has been scheduled for Saturday at Cedar Creek. Info will be available at the COI. This auction was very popular last year and raised about $500 for the 6th VA Infantry's special projects fund and the Corps Scholarship Fund. See Phil Gomez for more info.
