SPECIAL ORDER # 4, 2022-2023

Business for the 28^th Encampment of the Department of Tennessee

Past Department Commanders, Past Camp Commanders, Camp Commanders and Secretaries,

Some business that is determined for the upcoming Department Encampment:

• Updates to our By-Laws.
  • Changes approved at the 26^th Department Encampment were forwarded to National for the signature of the Commander-in-Chief. With one exception, the changes were not in question.  There were other issues brought up at that time.
  • A draft of the changes based on the Commander-in-Chief’s comments was not available for the 27^th Department Encampment, due to the requirement of 60 days notice to the Camps.
  • The Sr. Vice Commander, as chair of the By-Laws committee has provided a draft for this Encampment. The draft is available on the Department website here:
    http://www.suvcwdepttn.org/wp-content/uploads/2023/01/DeptofTNByLaws_revD_Proposed_r3-V2-.pdf
  • As the previous changes were already approved by a previous encampment, we will only address the changes that the By-Laws committee are proposing.
• Statement on National Per Capita increase
  • Army of Tennessee brings a resolution to the Department regarding the National Per Capita increase. My understanding is that they would ask the Department to adopt this resolution and forward it as communication to National.
  • The resolution may be found here:

Camp Commanders and Secretaries, please forward this information to your Delegates so they may come to Encampment informed and prepared.

Ordered this 16th day of January 2023.
