Announcing The 2012 LS National Conference


It is my pleasure to announce that the 2012 League of the South national conference will be held in the new Alabama LS culture center and headquarters in Wallsboro (Elmore County), Alabama, on 20-21 July (Friday-Saturday). The LS building is located on US Hwy. 231 north of Montgomery, the first Capital of the Confederacy. The new venue was opened to the public on Saturday, 21 January, with speeches, music, food, and good Southern fellowship. We look forward to showing off our newest League real estate to you all this coming summer. Please mark the dates on your calendar and plan to join us for a fun, informative, and inspiring weekend on our own beautiful property.

The theme of this year’s conference is “Bringing Communities Back To Life.” The program will feature several practical workshops that cover the cultural, social, economic, and political revitalization of our Southern communities. Confirmed speakers thus far are Michael Peroutka, noted attorney and former Constitution Party Presidential candidate; Franklin Sanders, author, editor of The Moneychanger and The Free Magnolia, and LS Board member; Mike Tuggle, blogmaster of The Rebellion Blog and LS Board member; and Michael Hill, LS President. As usual, we will have some surprises.

More information about the program, speakers, entertainment, lodging, etc. will be forthcoming.

The conference fees, which include a locally catered BBQ dinner (as opposed to “lunch”) at noon on Saturday, are as follows:

  • Individual $60
  • Couple (Husband & Wife) $95
  • Family (including all children) $100 plus $10 per meal Note: Meal fees will be collected at sign-in desk when you arrive at Conference.

You may pay your conference fee either by filling out the form provided below and sending it along with a check to the League office or you may pay online by PayPal.

We look forward to seeing you in The Heart of Dixie in July!

Great News! Wigginton's Will Have A New Home Thanks To You!

LS News Service
Editor's Note: The following is related to the League's ongoing efforts on behalf of the victims of the Spring 2011 tornadoes.

Compatriots:

I'm happy to report that
Mrs. Joyce Wigginton of Hackleburg, Alabama, our "adopted" tornado relief family, has now received enough funds to have built her foundation for her new home. The builders may come as early as today to start actualy construction of the new house.

She wanted me to thank you all for your generosity and kindness. Moreover, I would like to thank you as well. By God's grace we were able to help Mrs. Wigginton and her family through this crisis to the point that they will now have a new home in which to live. Once it's completed and the family moves in, Sara and I will go down and take a look. We will take pictures and post them so you can see what your donations help us do for this family.

Again, Many thanks!
J. Michael Hill
