Virginia Division 2017 Annual

Convention and Reunion

General Information
The John M. Jordan Camp # 581 is pleased to host the 2017 Virginia Division Convention and
Reunion. The Convention will be held April 21-23, 2017 at the historic Berry Hill Resort and
Conference Center, 3105 River Road, South Boston, Virginia 24592. Berry Hill is the ancestral home
of the Bruce family with deep ties to the War between the States. The main house is considered to
be one of Virginias finest examples of Greek Revival Architecture and is on the National Register of
Historic Places.
Following tabs will attach a printable registration form, schedule of events and ancestor memorial
form for those who might wish to have their ancestor(s) recognized in the reunion program booklet.
Please remember in order to obtain the very special rate of $89 plus taxes for lodging, you must call
Berry Hill directly at 434-517-7000 and mention SCV Convention.
For those that arrive early on Friday evening, supper is on your own. There are several fine
dining options at Berry Hill you may want to consider. Information on dining options, making
dinner reservations, pictures and additional information on the host venue may be found at www.
berryhillonline.com.
Dress protocol for the convention is business attire with coat and tie preferred for gentlemen during
the business session and for the banquet. Of course, as is always the case, period dress is welcomed
at all convention events and activities.
We feel fortunate to be hosting the convention at such an exclusive and historic venue and
have coordinated, with management, arrangements with regard to the displaying of flags of
the Confederate States of America. CSA flags may be displayed in those areas (rooms) rented or
contracted for the exclusive use of the Sons of Confederate Veterans. Those areas and rooms are
noted on the schedule of events.
Camps are welcomed to display their camp flag in the main conference room during the convention
(remember to bring your stand). Compatriot Stanley Foster of the Charlotte County Grays Camp
1964 will be coordinating the color guard processional march at the opening ceremonies. If you
wish to take part in the color guard, let Stanley know, telephone 434-735-8415.
All the members of the John M. Jordan Camp 581 hope you will enjoy your trip to South Boston and
Halifax County and will make every effort to assist in any way possible. We look forward to seeing
you in April.
Sincerely,
Gerald C. Burnett, M.D.
Commander, John M. Jordan Camp 581
