MEMORIAL DAY 2011
The Elk Grove CWRT was well represented at the Elk Grove Cemetery's Memorial Day Program on Monday May 30, 2011. Member Joe Fabel read a poem that he wrote for the occasion and member Hank Pezzetti arrived with a group from the Elk Grove Marine Corps League.
Don Nottoli, of the County Board of Supervisors was the keynote speaker. The Fife and Drum Corps from Chico added a Civil War flavor to the program.
Due to declining attendance at City Cemetery, it was decided to forego the Civil War Memorial Day Tour this year. A program may be in the works for later this year to dedicate the new Civil War signs that are being produced by the Elk Grove CWRT.
The Fife and Drum Corps of Chico ended the program with the Battle Hymn of the Republic.

NEW MARKER FOR ELK GROVE CIVIL WAR VETERAN
The descendants of Corporal James Thwing Ellis of Co. H, 11th Maine Volunteer Infantry gathered on Saturday, May 29, 2011 at the Franklin Cemetery on Hood-Franklin Road. The family made the connection after doing genealogical reasearch and obtained Corp. Ellis's pension records.
Bob and Jacque Bundy attended the dedication on behalf of the Elk Grove Civil War Round Table.
