ROUND TABLE TOPS $1M IN DONATIONS!
TOTAL OF ACTUAL & MATCHING FUNDS NOW AT $1,143,821.66!
Although this was never a goal when the CDCWRT first started
donating monies for preservation activities, by 2003 it became
an unofficial goal to top one million dollars in actual funds
plus matching funds. We had hoped to do this during the
Sesquicentennial, and we have achieved that target by the end of
2012. Over the years, many people have contributed their time
and energies to attain this goal. At the national level, the
efforts of the Civil War Trust in brokering matching deals, has
contributed to the lion’s share of this figure. The estimated
cash value of the Round Table’s donation is $188,684, which is
still very impressive. The match average is 6 to 1.

WANTED
The Round Table is still looking for someone or several members
to serve as Refreshment Chair. The Round Table provides a budget
for soda, water and snacks for meetings, but we need some
volunteers to bring the items, set up for the meeting, and clean
up afterwards. We generally have 10 meetings a year so if the
task is divided by several volunteers, it would amount to 3-5
times per year. Anyone interested should talk to Fran McCashion
or Mary Ellen Johnson.
Founded
in 1984, the Capital District Civil War Round Table is a
non-profit, tax exempt educational organization under Section
501(c)(3) of the IRS Code. Our purpose is to foster
education, awareness and respect for America's historic
heritage, with special focus on the Civil War period. We are
dedicated to the preservation of Civil War sites nationwide, and
we are a lifetime member of the
Civil War Trust (CWT).
We currently have over 150 members.
