Sons Of The American Revolution Hold May Meeting

SAINT PETERSBURG, FL - The Sons of the American Revolution Saint Petersburg Chapter held a general membership meeting on May 15th via Zoom. The chapter normally holds meetings every third Saturday of each month at the Saint Petersburg Yacht Club at 11:00 am, except for a Summer break between June to August. However, most recent general membership meetings have been via Zoom due to the COVID-19 pandemic. The chapter is anticipating a return to in person meetings in September.

The guest speaker was Christopher Leverett, a National Park Service Ranger from Castillo de San Marcos National Monument in Saint Augustine, Florida. Leverett gave an overview of the history, in particular the time during the Revolutionary War, and the present conditions of the monument. Leverett also advised that due to the current COVID-19 pandemic, potential visitors should check the park's website (www.nps.gov/casa) about which facilities may be open or closed.

The Sons of the American Revolution is a non-profit, non-partisan organization dedicated to enhancing education, promoting patriotism and preserving American history. Members of the Sons of the American Revolution can trace their lineage to a patriot who supported the cause of American Independence.
