Quick poll for April meeting
Since I am unable to ask this via the Facebook page, I am hoping you all will help out with this poll on what to do for April’s meeting, so please answer the question below.
Here are some specifics to the possible answers:
- I have ventured into historical wargaming, specifically Flames of War and am willing to use future meetings to discuss various wargames and have demonstrations of the game. Thus, this option will likely be an introduction to Flames of War and a demo of the game.
- The Civil War option is always available, as our group’s history began as a Civil War Roundtable, so if you want something Civil War related, we can go that route.
- The Revolutionary War option was to coincide with the 240th anniversary of the Battles of Lexington and Concord in April.
- The last option was a presentation I originally planned to give last April, but a late winter blizzard forced the library to close that day (what an April Fool’s prank), so if you are interested in hearing the presentation, I am willing to give it.
Again, please answer the poll below, as your feedback will help me plan April’s meeting out better. Thanks for your feedback and support.

War Studies Group meeting interest poll
I want to reach out to folks who have followed this site and/or have attended a meeting in the past to gauge what day of the week, which week of the month, and where you would like to have meetings. I am doing this in an effort to restart the group’s meetings, which have been hampered by the passing of members, the relocation of members, winter weather, and my own busy schedule.
That said, I ask as many of you that read this that live in or around Grand Forks, ND to answer the polls so I can get some idea of what works for most of you all. I will tell you that with my schedule, Thursday evenings, the second and fourth Tuesdays of the month, and third Monday of the month are booked with other commitments. Thank you for answering the polls and helping me to get the group meetings going again.

This event is held in conjunction with the Elwyn B. Robinson Department of Special Collections in the Chester Fritz Library. The War Studies Group thanks the Department for its support and hosting of this event.
The meeting is still on
Despite the snow, we are still planning to hold the meeting as scheduled tomorrow at 6:00PM at the East Grand Forks Campbell Library. If weather forces the library to close early, as it did today, then, we will reschedule. I hope to see you there for a good video and some good discussion.
Agenda for the first meeting
I want to invite you, if you are in the vicinity of East Grand Forks on March 5, to the first meeting of the War Studies Group. This will serve as an introductory meeting to let you know who we are and what we are about. We will also devote time to getting feedback to what topics you want to have presented in the coming months.
In addition to discussing the group and planning, we will also be viewing a video on Pontiac’s Uprising from the History Channel series Frontier: Legends of the Old Northwest, which is a good series from the days when History was not full of reality shows.
I hope to see you at the meeting and will post a flyer in the next week or so as a reminder about the meeting.
