CALENDAR CHANGE - 2012 - MT. PISGAH EVENT CANCELLED

Due to financial problems and difficult communication with Lane County Parks Dept. The Board voted to remove the Mt. Pisgah event from our NCWC calendar. Last year we lost money and we were informed that the county wants another $900+ dollars for 2012. An opportunity has presented itself for us to return to Lebanon (Cheadle Lake) and the Board decided to pursue that. More specific information to follow ASAP. The Event Planning team will also immediately begin to look for a new venue (probably in the Eugene- Springfield area).

AFTER ACTION REPORT - ALBANY PARADE A SUCCESS

Event Coordinator Bob Olin announced that the NCWC had between 110 - 125 members attend the Albany Veterans Day Parade on November 11th. We covered the length of an entire city block with our Color Guards (Confederate and Union), infantry, cavalry, civilian, artillery float and field music. Our combined marching units took first place in their respective categories.

Thanks to those who helped organize the various units (Anne Tamerius - Cavalry, John Leckie & John Frenzel with the artillery float, Michael Larsen & Steve Betschart with the field music and, of course, the Battalion Commanders Scott Eakman and Jim Stanovich with their staff who organized the infantry and Color Guard groups). Great job !! We were so impressive that the NCWC may have the chance to march again in the Grand Floral Rose Festival Parade in June of
2012.
