April, 2007	April 7: Confederate Flag Day , Arkansas State Capitol Grounds. OPTIONAL EVENT. Confederate impression. April 14-15: Battle of Pleasant Hill, near Pleasant Hill, LA. Confederate impression, but as always, bring your blue stuff too. OPTIONAL EVENT, we will have a mess-sized group participating. April 23-24: Battle of Marks' Mill Re-enactment, Marks' Mill Battlefield State Park, near Fordyce, AR. Federal impression (36th Iowa Infantry). Company Maximum Effort Event
May, 2007	May 4-6: Battle of Chalk Bluff Re-Enactment, near Piggott, AR. OPTIONAL EVENT: Chalk Bluff is one that wasn’t on the original schedule because we set our May event as the AMLA shoot in Berryville. In fact, they weren’t planning to hold Chalk Bluff this year, but the SCV apparently changed their mind a couple of weeks ago. Most everybody else in the state is part of the TMVI or 1st Arkansas Battalion, and they’re planning to go to Jefferson, TX that weekend. I don’t mind supporting this one by taking a crew up there, but would like to see our max efforts stay with Berryville. The 7th Arkansas will be providing a federal presence, so if we do support this one, we would be the Confederates. May 18-20: Arkansas State Muzzleloading Championships. Berryville, AR. May’s max effort event... Live-fire black powder matches, and the annual Civil War Shoot-Out.
June, 2007	June 9-10: Vicksburg Siege Living History, Vicksburg National Military Park, Vicksburg, MS.
July, 2007	July 14: Company Drill, Reed's Bridge Battlefield Park, Jacksonville, AR

December, 2007	Dec. 8: (Tentative) Annual Christmas Gathering/Party

Events listed in Red are Company Maximum Effort Events. Maximum effort events" or "maximum events" are those events at which the Company seeks to achieve attendance of all available members, ideally 100 % attendance of the Company. Once an event has been designated as maximum-effort, all energies of the Company shall be directed toward those events on those days. Any member of the Capitol Guards should feel free to attend any event he or she chooses, but those that conflict with maximum effort events will not be recognized by the Company, and members should direct their priorities accordingly. If a member is unable to attend a maximum effort event, he or she is responsible to contact one of the Company officers or NCOs with the reason why he will be absent.
