San Joaquin Valley Civil War Roundtable |
Preservation Actions
| One of the founding principles of the San Joaquin Valley Civil War Roundtable is to raise funds for the Preservation of Civil War Battlefield sites. And to that end we have worked hard over the past decade . The total raised to date exceeds $35,000 . We have accomplished this through monthly raffles , through an annual fund raiser and especially through excess funds generated by the production and management of five annual three day events , named West Coast Symposiums, featuring speakers, dinners, raffles, and sales. All West Coast Roundtables attend this annual events and contribute to their success. The last symposium sponsored by our CWRT was in Nov. 2005, held at the Veterans Post in Clovis , and covering the theme "The War in the West." Additionally ,we raise some funds at the annual Reenactment at Kearney Park, which EVENT is arranged by the Fresno Historical Society . Our funds are sent selectively to organizations in the East who specialize in battlefield preservation. Specifically the CWPT ; the Friends of Gettysburg ; the Richmond Battfield Trust ; the Drum Barracks ; the Sacramento CWRT Alcatraz Project ; the Lincoln center in the Redlands ; the Carter House Trust in Franklin ,TN. |
