We meet the second
Saturday of the month September through
June. Coffee is ready at 9:30 a.m. and our
meeting convenes at 10:00 a.m. If you would
like to attend one of our meetings, please
contact our chapter
regent.
Most chapter meetings
combine patriotic exercises with
organizational business and educational
programs. Many of our members are skilled
presenters. We won a State DAR award for our
program series, "Who Do You Think You Are?"
in which members shared stories from their
genealogical research. Nothing as
fascinating as someone sharing what they
love!
We also invite special
interest speakers to share their expertise.
We make time for celebrations of all kinds,
from Abigail Adams' birthday to a member's
50th anniversary in DAR. We share
information, work on our special projects,
and just have fun. And we try to do a "road
trip" every year.
