Future Meetings

Annual Christmas Party
 
The Society’s annual Christmas Open House will be held on Tuesday, December 8, 2009, at 7:00 PM at the Brown House. Members are asked to bring their favorite Christmas goodies “finger food” for refreshments. This is our traditional end of the year get-together and is an excellent time to meet the new members and share fellowship with the old members.

Our story teller for the evening will be Cassie Barrow from Griffin, Georgia, who will entertain us by talking in a somewhat first person situation describing the Christmas at the Confederate White House in Richmond, Virginia, using as much of Varina Howell Davis’s words as possible. Cassie, a historian on many Southern subjects, is Second Vise President of The United Daughters of the Confederacy Atlanta Chapter # 18 and is President of the Friends of Nash Farm Battlefield.

Cassie and her family reside in Griffin. She is the mother of Tyler Wright and Georgianah Barrow and the wife of Charles Kelly Barrow. We hope to see all of you there and please bring a friend.
