ELK GROVE CIVIL WAR ROUND TABLE

The Round Table's first meeting was held on June 17, 1993. Founding members Chuck Davis, Steve Von Bima and Bob Bundy led the first meeting at the American Legion Hall at the corner of Gerber Road and Elk Grove Florin Rd. Mr. Von Bima led the first meeting with "An Audio-Visual Tour of Gettysburg." The group soon moved to Frassinetti's Winery just south of Florin Rd.with the first meeting at the new location being held on January 18, 1994. We spent two years at Frassinetti's before moving very briefly to the Elk Grove Brewery, a new establishment that did not work out for our Round Table. On Tuesday April 16, 1996, we held our first meeting at Cassidy's Family Restaurant where Mr. Von Bima spoke on "Civil War Photography". We would spend nine years at Cassidy's before moving to nearby Denny's in the fall of 2006. (Cassidy's changed their hours and were no longer available for evening meetings.) The Round Table is free and has never charged dues. We do, however, urge everyone to subscribe to our newsletter.
