Spring Bulletin 2008

The North Carolina Society’s Fall meeting was a 3-day Joint Court with the National Board of tDaughters of the Founders & Patriots of America in Asheville, NC. We had a great meeting with over 50 attending. We also had a tour of Asheville and the Biltmore House, along with a new member paperwork session for three new members. The Fall colors of the leaves along with our wine-tasting socials made the meeting memorable for us all.

During the meeting we approved expansion of our Graduation Awards to the Top Cadet for College ROTC Program from the three we have now:
Duke, UNC Chapel Hill and The Citadel to add NC State University, Davidson College and another College to be approved in 2008. At the Joint Court, the NC-DFPA invited us to their Spring Meeting in Washington DC on April 9, 2008. We are planning to attend in force. Then we hope to have a big attendance at the Spring General Court in Boston. This is a special
Court, because many of our Founders came from the Boston general area, and this Court has significant historical patriotic connections. My Patriot, Col. Jonathan Maxson, mustered in at Boston, and my Founder, Richard Maxson arrived in Boston as a Blacksmith.

For our final meeting of the year NC-OFPA was invited and about 20 percent of our membership attended the chartering of the South Carolina Society in Charleston, South Carolina with SC-OFPA Governor. Dr. Tommy Leland, our Governor General Mike Phelps and
Governor Ray Maxson. We are looking forward to more joint SC and NC meeting in 2008.
