Department Order #3, 2022 – 2023

Brothers and Gentlemen of the Department,

I am saddened to issue this Department Order.

1. I have been informed by Br Richard Holmes, CC of Maj. William Anderson McTeer Camp #39, Department of Tennessee, Sons of Union Veterans of the Civil War that the Camp has decided to cease functioning.

2. With this decision, I order the following:

a. Sr. Vice Commander, Chip Huffman, CC, work with the leadership of the Camp to
surrender all assets and have those assets transferred to the National Organization.

i. This is including the Camp Charter,
ii. Financial Assets,
iii. Other tangible assets

b. Sr. Vice Commander, Chip Huffman, CC, also gain control of any existing electronic
assets

i. Examples: websites, Facebook accounts, etc.

c. Sr. Vice Commander, Chip Huffman, CC, hold in trust any awards or assets that
belong to the Department, that may currently be in the Camp’s possession.

i. Examples: Awards, Files, etc.

d. Jr. Vice Commander, Richard “Skip” Rexroade work with the Brothers of the retiring
Camp to find them homes in our existing Camps.

i. I would ask the Commanders and Brothers of Missionary Ridge Camp #63
and Army of Tennessee Camp #64 to extend fraternal relations to these
Brothers, as those Camps are the most likely locations.
ii. That the Department Secretary / Treasurer, Gary Moore, CC and Camp
Secretary / Treasurers assist with the creating of Form 4’s, 6’s, and 30’s as
necessary to help retain these Brothers in the Order. We need to make sure
paperwork does not lose us a Brother!

3. The loss of a Camp within our Department is a loss for all of us. The Order grows with us having healthy Camps with healthy leadership and active members. It takes all of us to join together to make our Camps and Department work and thrive.

So ordered this 9th day of May, 2022
