Compatriots,

Commander Chuck Norred has called for an official ATM meeting to be held 14 April 2007 in Osceola, Missouri and asks that ATM Division Commanders, Camp Commanders, and members be present. Commander Norred also encourages members from other Armies to be present if they choose. The meeting will be held the same day as the Col. Coffee Camp's Confederate Heritage Dinner later in the evening.


The business meeting will start at 8:00 A.M. in Osceola. Mr. David Reif is scheduled to address the membership. After the meeting, a bus will be provided and proceed to one of the caves used by the James and Youngers. This portion of the tour will require good mobility or assistance. There will be a local historian present.

On the second leg of our tour, we will travel to the location where John Younger was murdered by the Pinkerton's. We will view the tow monuments and visit his grave site. There will also be a local historian present.

We will have lunch at Roscoe, which is close by where the gun fight was that killed John Younger.

The final stop will be at the Missouri Brigade Monument erected by the Coffee Camp. Again, there will be a local historian there.

After the tour, the bus will arrive at the Southern Plantation Motel for you to depart, rest a bit, and get ready for the evening Confederate Heritage Dinner.

In the evening, the Coffee Camp will hold its Annual Confederate Heritage Dinner. Our scheduled speaker is Mr. Donnie Kennedy. There will be many vendors present, some raffles to participate in and, as always, there will be a number of door prizes.

What we can make sure of is that you will enjoy the day's activities and the ATM meeting, and have good fellowship and good food with the spirit of the Confederacy in the air.

The cost of the tour and lunch is $15.00 per person. Please plan to come to the ATM meeting, followed by the tour and the Confederate Heritage Dinner.

NOTE: Reservations for the tour and Confederate Heritage Dinner are separate.
