Miss Ann King
President's Message
Ladies,
Soon we will be asking you to send in your money to reserve a copy of the Division History Book. Since many chapters
do not meet during the summer, it is incumbent upon all of you to check with your chapter presidents or watch the
ALAUDC email forum for details.
Continue to make your reservations for the Division, September 17-19, and the General, November 5-9, before the
blocs are taken. For the Division, again this year at The Marriott Legends at Capitol Hill, call 1-800-593-6429 and ask
for UDC or United Daughters of the Confederacy rate. Call the Beau Rivage Casino and Resort in Biloxi at 1-888-383-7037
and specify the UDC General Convention.
Those presenting awards at the Division Convention should begin sending the names of the recipients to Division Prize
Chairman Lucy Willis lucycwillis@charter.net . Of course, some will not know these until later in the summer.
Send any publicity in the media, including newspapers, programs, and other published materials, to Sharon Woods,
Public Relations Committee Chairman, for her committee to use in compiling the Division Press Book. Similar materials,
including snapshots and pictures depicting chapter events, should be sent to Mary Beth Majesty, Chairman of the Division
Scrapbook Committee.
Many of you will be having teas or other activities celebrating the birthday of Jefferson Davis. Saturday, June 7,
will be the annual ceremony at Arlington National Cemetery, sponsored by the District of Columbia UDC, which includes
the placing of wreaths at the Confederate Monument. This year, Fay Pool will represent the Division and place the
Alabama Wreath.
On June 27, the Texas Division has invited all of you to attend their dedication of a marker honoring eleven Texas
Confederate Soldiers. This will take place at 10:00 AM at Tullahoma Confederate Cemetery, Tullahoma, Tennessee.
I hope all of you will have a lovely summer.
In UDC love,
Ann
