Mr. Richard Fairchild President General 2009–2010

Greetings everyone! I want to thank everyone for the trust and support you have shown in me by electing me as your CofC President General for the 2009–2010 year. I promise to work hard for our Organization and make this the best CofC year! I am sure you are all ready to hear about the new 2009–2010 CofC year, so let us get started. My projects and goals are for our members to participate in acts of charity, community, citizenship, and communication as we work hard “C-ing” this year in the CofC. First let's talk about charity. Each CofC Chapter is being asked to donate $10.00 for the Soles-4-Souls though the General Organization. In addition, Chapters may support Soles-4-Souls through local shoes drives or fundraisers. You can learn more information about this program at http://www.soles4souls.org/. Please note that your Chapter or Division will need to complete a Fundraiser Information Sheet if you wish to combine a scholarship fundraiser with a Soles-4-Souls fundraiser. Next is community. I am asking that each CofC Chapter sponsor or participate with their local UDC Chapter in a food drive or be involved with their school can drive. In addition, 2010 General Convention attendees will be asked to bring canned food items to the convention for a CofC General Organization food frive. Canned food will be donated to a local food pantry in Durham, Georgia. The next goal is citizenship. This goal will involve patriotic projects. Please support your Division's patriotic project and our Custodian General's patriotic project. Finally, the General Organization will focus on communication. With the new Sister States program, it will never be easier to get in touch! You can read about the new Sister States program in this issue of The Courier. Now, let’s get started and work hard to make this the best CofC year ever!!!! I will….will you? Mr. Richard Fairchild President General, Childen of the Confederacy 2009–2010
