The E-Board is scheduling their November meeting there. They do require that we spend $100.00 to utilize their room.

This month Larry Thornton will make a presentation at our monthly meeting.

Notable Quote:
“…..You see, Southerners always make up flattering stories about themselves
while Northerners just tell the true facts.

Southerners are intrinsically evil and Northerners intrinsically good. The
South is not to be understood for itself, as it is and was, as something with
its own life and identity. It exists only as the bad side of America”

The City of Charlottesville Will Appeal Loss of UDC Lawsuit

The Daily Progress reports the City Council on Monday night authorized the city attorney to appeal once a judge delivers his final ruling against removing statues of Robert E. Lee and Stonewall Jackson.

Circuit Court Judge Richard Moore ruled last month that monuments don't send a racially discriminatory message. He also issued a permanent injunction preventing the city from removing the statues.

A group of residents led by the UDC sued the city, citing a state law that protects war memorials. The only outstanding issue is their request for more than $600,000 in attorneys' fees. A hearing is scheduled for Oct. 15.
