[VAcourier] Virginia Division Camp Award Program - Additional Information

[Virginia Division SCV Communication List]

The e-mail below was sent out by 2nd Brigade Commander Michael Thomas to 
members in his brigade as supplemental information to help answer any 
questions about the Virginia Division Camp Award Program. We are posting 
his e-mail on the Virginia Courier so it will reach more people. 
Commander Thomas is the Chairman of the Awards Committee and can be 
reached at Thomdav2 at aol.com if you have further questions.


John Sawyer, Commander
Virginia Division SCV

Gentlemen,
 
I forward Commander Sawyer's e-mail with great enthusiasm & hope each 
camp will receive it in the same manner.
 
The background for this new Division Award is short & simple. In the 
first quarterly meeting of the current DEC, it was noted that the 
Virginia Division had no way of providing acknowledgment to those camps 
which did so much to further our cause in a variety of ways. There are 
many outstanding projects, activities  & other contributions by camps 
all across the Division which ought to bring some form of recognition to 
those camps for their dedication and hard work.
 
The DEC re-established the Division Awards Committee and tasked it with 
devising a method to provide formal, meaningful and well earned 
recognition to those camps warranting such recognition. The Committee, 
with input from others, devised the manner of recognition in a form that 
is visible and lasting. The requirements are appropriate for any size 
camp. The attachment with Commander Sawyer's e-mail gives the particulars.
 
There is no competition for this award as it is designed to honor any 
and all camps meeting the requirements as provided. It is hoped that 
every camp within the division will strive to achieve this award. The 
program starts the very first day after a Division Convention and ends 
at the conclusion of the next convention. The first Awards will be 
issued at the 2010 Virginia Convention.
 
Please let me know if there are any questions & comments (pro, con or 
other). As information, the full Committee is shown below. Please note 
that it consists of 2 current Camp Commanders and 2 Past Camp Commanders.
 
With best regards,
 
Michael Thomas, Commander
2nd Brigade, Virginia Division
 
 
Awards Committee:
Michael Thomas, Chairman
