 On Saturday, May 11, 2024, at 1:00 PM, at the IHOP in SLO, we held a meeting of the Central Coast Chapter of the SAR.  The attendance was mostly longtime members.  The guest speaker was Nate Maas, and his presentation was on the prisoners of the Rev War and their situation, which was deployable.  

Also, a new member, Russell Taylor, was welcomed to the chapter.  We have a photo, but I'm having trouble with my computer, so the photo is not available. 

If you have something noteworthy and relative the American Revolutionary War, please forward a copy and photos and I'll post it our blog.
