The Florida Division of the Sons of Confederate Veterans provides this section to its membership. Interesting programs are a vital part of a camp’s activities. A good program for camp meetings is vital to encourage members to attend. In addition, programs are also vital for recruitment and retention. The list below contains information on individuals who have expressed interest in providing such. Each camp should contact an individual to make arrangements. The list is dynamic so it should be checked often for updates.
Every camp member should consider providing a presentation, not only for his own camp but for other camps as well. We have provided an on line form where you can submit your information and be added to the list. Click on the button below to go to that form.
