Camellia District dedicated a Blue Star Memorial Marker in November 2012 at the Museum of Aviation at Robins Air Force Base in Warner Robins. The keynote speaker was Maj. Gen. Cornelius "Newt" Nugteren, USAF (Ret.). After the dedication a reception was given by members of Camellia District in honor of all members of the Armed Forces.

The Wadell Barnes Botanical Gardens at Middle Georgia State College in Macon received a donation from the Camellia District at the recent board meeting in Macon. The donation was made to purchase camellias to be placed in a section of the Chinese Garden.
