Dear Virginia Division Members: 

As many of you are aware, the Virginia Division has  undertaken the 
conservation of the Crenshaw Battery Battle Flag as a project  honoring the 
Sesquicentennial of the War Between the States. The Virginia  Division came into 
possession of this flag when the Lee Home for Soldiers in  Richmond closed. In 
recent years, the flag has been displayed at the Warren  Rifles Memorial 
Museum in Front Royal. 

An informative Historical Program on this  conservation project has been 
attached in anticipation that you would use it  at one of your upcoming 
monthly meetings.  It is a perfect way to raise the  awareness of all our Sisters 
across Virginia about this project.   

The Special Committee in honor of the ‘150th  Anniversary of the War 
Between the States’ was appointed to undertaken  fundraising for this project. To 
date, over $1,600 has been donated or  pledged. 

At our 2014  Division Convention, we challenged each Virginia chapter to 
donate just  $1.00 per member. Please consider accepting this challenge soon.  
Checks should be made out to  “Treasurer, Virginia Division UDC” with a 
notation indicating that the funds  are for the “Crenshaw Battery Flag Project”
 and may be mailed to:  



Sandra Wright 16463 Horseshoe Lane, Beaverdam, VA   23015-1235 

Additionally, if you need more information on the  project, the Committee 
members are standing by to support  you.
