On Wednesday, December 16, 2009 at 7:30 pm the SDCWRT will hold its 280th meeting at Palisades Presbyterian Church, 6301 Birchwood St. San Diego, Calif. 92120. This year we shall have a meeting in December for the first time in several years as Christmas is more than a week away. To honor Christmas and the holiday season, we are going to have a show and tell about Christmas. All members are encouraged to participate by bringing anything that relates to Christmas and the Civil War. This could include any memorabilia, books, stories, songs, etc. that are related to Christmas. For example, there can be anything about what the soldiers did to celebrate Christmas, what kind of presents were given, what songs were sung, or what a Christmas at the Lincoln White House was like. The only limit is your imagination.
On Wednesday November 18, 2009 at 7:30 pm the SDCWRT will hold its 279th meeting at Palisades Presbyterian Church, 6301 Birchwood St. San Diego, CA 92120. Because of illness, our speaker for this month had to cancel and with little time to find someone to fill this spot we will be repeating one of our more popular programs, “SHOW and TELL” along with a Book Chat moderated by Mark Sharpiro. All rmembers are encouraged to participate by bringing that special piece of Civil War memorabilia, a favorite book or memories of that trip which left a lasting impression. Use your imagination and if it says Civil War we want to see it or hear about it.
Last month’s presentation given by Mark Shapiro on Ambrose Bierce referred to his short story “An Occurrence at Owl Creek Bridge” conceded by many as one of the greatest literately works ever written. In 2005, Kurt Vonnegut referred to “Occurrence” in his book A Man Without a Country as one of the greatest works of American literature, and called anyone who hadn’t read it a “twerp”. If you would like to read this short story you can find it at the following web page. Enjoy. http://fiction.eserver.org/short/occurrence_at_owl_creek.html If you are one of those who still have not ventured into ciberspace and the internet but would like to have a copy of this short story let me know and I will print one for you.
