2011 July 15, Speaker Terry Manning

Speaker: Past Georgia SAR President Terry Manning who will speak about the Indian Wars from 1600 to the Revolution

Special Request from Terry Manning: In support of the JRW History Fund, I would appreciate it if you would ask Chapter Members to bring any history books that they might wish to donate. We sell them at discounted prices to members at the Board of Managers meeting and to the DAR at their conferences. We have raised almost $1,700 to date which will be reflected in changes in the Education Program in the next 12 months
