The Louisville Civil War Round Table
The purpose of The Louisville Civil War Round Table is to study all aspects of the American Civil War and to promote the interchange of knowledge about it. Our members’ interests in the War between the States are varied and their knowledge ranges from elementary to expert.
Our activities include nine dinner meetings per year (September—May), a one-day Fall field trip, and a five-day Spring field trip. Our dinner meetings feature a speaker who discusses a Civil War topic. Our organization also makes an annual contribution to a Civil War preservation project.
Memberships
We welcome new members and have three levels of membership:
1. Regular $30 Basic Membership
2. Family $ 35 Family Membership, allows spouse or family member to join. $5 for each additional family member living in the same household
3. Patron $50 or more Membership for individual and spouse or one other family member with financial gift to the Round Table. The Round Table is a tax exempt organization under section 501 (c) (3) of the Internal Revenue Code; therefore, the gift portion of Patron dues (excess over the amount required for Regular or Family membership) is deductible for income tax purposes.
If you are interested in becoming a member or attending a meeting, please contact Mr. John Bellucci (502) 239-9401 or Mr. Lowell Griffin (502) 423-1861.

In April 2009 we will be going to Chancellorsville National Military Park in Virginia for our field trip. We will have a limit of 50 people taking the tour as we will be taking only one bus. Of course, if you wish to go and not take the tour this will not count towards the limit of 50. Our tentative dates for this trip are April 15–19. Sign ups begin at the September 2008 meeeting.
