1 LAKE - SUMTER CHAPTER of the The Lake-Sumter Gazette Editor: Bob Beightol February 2017 IMPORTANT REMINDER: Members and Guests, please remember that we revert to our normal meeting day and time beginning with the next meeting. As a result, our next scheduled meeting will be Saturday, March 4, 2017, at 11:00 a.m. The Executive Committee will meet at 10:00 a.m. and as usual members are encouraged to attend with the table reserved for the committee members to facilitate the conduct of business. 1

Did you Know The federal holiday honoring Past President George Washington was instigated by Congress in 1879 and originally was only for the employees of U.S. government offices in Washington D.C. becoming a national holiday in As the first federal holiday to honor an American president, the holiday was celebrated on Washington's actual birthday, February 22 nd. On January 1, 1971, the federal holiday was shifted to the third Monday in February by Congress Uniform Monday Holiday Act, giving us a 3-day week-end (Say Thank you Congress ). Strangely, the 3 rd Monday of February always falls between February 15 and 21, and never on February 22 nd, which makes the name "Washington's Birthday" a misnomer. 2
3 From Our President s Desk between settlers with competing land claims. Jerry Hardwich, President This month, let us remember our patriot ancestors. Winter has by now unleashed its fury on them, especially in colonial New England. Our patriot ancestors, having suffered a series of defeats, were also now regrouping after some dramatic victories. The dismal times of frigid cold and snow had set in and they were anticipating the coming of Spring and beginning the planting of the fields. The continual dual concepts of protest and conflict competed with their time at home as the development of the theory of our foundation of independence was taking place. A number of events took place during this time frame, including: January 21, 1738, Colonel Ethan Allen is born. Allen became a land owner in the late 1760s in the area known as the New Hampshire Grants, the area of present day Vermont. Before the American Revolution, both Connecticut and New York claimed ownership of the land and granted land rights in the area causing frequent disputes On January , Colonel Henry Knox reached the headquarters of the Continental Army in Cambridge. The young Boston bookseller had pulled off a daring plan. He had led a small group of men on a 300-mile journey from Boston to Fort Ticonderoga in New York State. Once there, the party disassembled cannon taken when the British surrendered the fort and retreated to Canada in May In less than two months time, Knox and his men moved 60 tons of artillery across lakes and rivers, through ice and snow to Boston. On March 7th, 2,000 Continental soldiers maneuvered the guns to a hill overlooking the city. The British had no choice but to evacuate Boston. Georgia patriots make a stand at Burke County Jail on January 26, In December of 1778, the British began their new Southern strategy with the attack and capture of Savannah, Georgia. The British were forced to reassess their strategy when France entered the war because the theater of war suddenly stretched around the world. Troops had to be taken from America and sent to other regions, such as the Mediterranean and the West Indies, to defend British interests there. On this day in history, January 14, 1784, the Treaty of Paris brings the American Revolution to a formal 3
4 close. After the surrender of Lord Cornwallis' army at Yorktown, Virginia in October, 1781, the British Parliament began to lose its will to fight the war. In April of 1782, the House of Commons decided to bring the war to and end and peace negotiations began in Paris. Freedom was being aggressively pursued, and the winds of change were underway. We continue to make strides, and move the chapter forward. We as a chapter, and as individuals keep active in a number of important activities: The February meeting attendance was 27, including 23 members and 4 guests. Ron Grove is leading the Americanism Award effort. Thanks to all on the Executive Committee for updating the list of activities. All of our members that have participated in referring friends and family need to be congratulated. Keep sending John Moore the names of any additional family, friends, and acquaintances that may qualify for membership. Special thanks need to go to John Moore for his perseverance in getting new members on board. We have completed the Chapter portion of the Rumbaugh Oration contest with several individuals from Montverde Academy participating. Hopefully, these contestants will also qualify for the Knight Essay contest. - Our winner moved on to the FLSSAR state competition at the FLSSAR Board of Management, and came in second. Congratulations for her hard work, her mentor, and to Ralph Nelson. - Several chapter members volunteered to work on this project. Compatriot Nelson has developed a new Poster Contest. The committee has been working to secure participation of several local schools. At this time we have three schools that have agreed to participate. With several chapters participating in the FLSSAR Florida Newsletter competition, the Lake-Sumter chapter is in the final running. The chapter is competing in the Camp Reports Color Guard contest. For February, our chapter will be participating in the GeorgeFest parade on February 25 in Eustis, FL. In closing, please give thought to what our Patriot ancestors were challenged with, protesting the implementation of taxes without any representation from the colonies. God bless our patriot relatives for what they did to persevere and save our country. All the best to each and every member. Good health, prosperity, and happiness to you and your family. 4

7 Member Meeting - February 11, 2017 The meeting was called to order at 11:00 a.m. by Chapter President Jerry Hardwich, who was assisted throughout the meeting by Secretary Ed Riley and 1st Vice-President Allen Lane. Members present were again fortunate to witness our color guard post and retrieve the colors during the meeting. Thanks to Color Guard Commander Glenn Langston and Compatriots Ralph D Nelson, Jr and George Chaffee for their participation. Color Guard Color Guard Commander Glenn Langston reminded everyone of the Chapter s participation in the GeorgeFest Parade in Eustis, FL, scheduled for February 25, Members and guests who wish to participate should meet at Langston s Golf Cart Center, 220 S. Bay St, Eustis, FL, not later than 9:30 a.m. At that time, the golf cart will leave for the staging area in preparation for the parade scheduled to start at 10:00 a.m. An eight-person golf cart will be available for those who wish to ride with room for many more outside the cart for those who wish to walk. As always, uniforms are encouraged as they are huge crowd pleasers, but are not mandatory. We also should remember that the Eustis GeorgeFest parade and festival is the second oldest festival celebrating George Washington s birthday in the nation and the longest continuing festival in the state of Florida. Even more important, the Lake-Sumter SAR Chapter has participated in each parade since the Chapter s inception in Hope to see you there! 7
8 Editor s Note: Those of you who have an interest joining the Chapter Color Guard, will find the following URL of value: The URL will take you to the NSSAR Color Guard newsletter didn t know one existed? I didn t either! Take a look at the newsletters for ideas about uniforms and Color Guard activities and think about volunteering. If you have additional questions I am sure Color Guard Commander Langston or any of our Color Guard members would be glad to answer them, particularly Compatriot Ralph Nelson who provided the information for this note. Thank you Compatriot Nelson! Chaplain s Report Chaplain Ralph D Nelson, Jr, reported that Compatriot Chuck White is still in a local rehab facility and would enjoy visits during his stay. Details concerning contact procedures and address of the rehab facility can be obtained from Chaplain Nelson. Chaplain Nelson mentioned that the son of President Jerry Hardwich has been undergoing health issues and asked for an update. President Hardwich advised that his son, who resides in Texas, has undergone surgery in his cancer treatment and is recovering. Prayers and well wishes, past, present and future are, and will be, much appreciated. DAR Labels for Education Program In the absence of Compatriot Bob Moody, no report or collection of labels and box tops for the DAR Labels for Education were conducted. Please hold all labels and box tops for collection at our March member meeting. Lake-Sumter Gazette Editor Bob Beightol again requested that the members submit photos and biographies for enclosure in the Chapter web site. Members were also encouraged to submit any information they have concerning SAR activities, with photographs, to the Editor for possible publication in the Chapter newsletter. 8
9 Veteran Recognition Committee As Chairman of the Veteran Recognition Committee, Compatriot Beightol reminded members that if they have had military service and have not as yet received an SAR Military Service Award that he should be contacted to initiate the application process.

To access the roster, go to the FLSSAR web site at flssar.org and then click on FL Veteran Bn along the left hand side. Publicity Committee Compatriot Beightol advised that he and Compatriot Robert H Moody, have been hard at work publicizing the activities of the Chapter in local newspapers to assist in recruiting efforts.

11 Presentation Member s Meeting Ena Dupree during the presentation assisted by her husband, Kevin Dupree. This month s speaker was Ms. Ena Dupree who provided her insight into Islam and her own personal story as an ex-muslim. Ms. Dupree was born in Lebanon as a Muslim, moved to Canada at the age of two years and began to learn at an early age that Muslim women had few rights or privileges. At the age of 14 she was forced to marry an older man who was also very abusive. She ran away from this marriage on several occasions but in all but the last, was found by her husband, mostly with the assistance of her own family, and forced to return to his home. Ultimately, she escaped, and was able to stay hidden and obtain a divorce. Following her divorce, she met her current husband, Kevin, to whom she has been married for twenty years, and eventually converted to Christianity. During her presentation, she provided many facts and opinions on Islam, its five Pillars and the Quran. Those in attendance were given a lot of information in a short period of time which may have generated more questions than answers. For those who desire additional information, Ms. Dupree is providing a PDF copy of her entire presentation which can be obtained via from Compatriot Al Lane. In addition, Ms. Dupree provided a list of books via a slide during her presentation which will provide additional information on Islam and its history. A copy of the slide is shown below. Ms. Dupree receives a Certificate of Appreciation from Chapter 1 st Vice- President Al Lane. 11
