All current and prospective members of DAR, and guests, are invited to attend our meetings. The Council Bluffs Chapter, NSDAR, has members from 14 states, Canada and western Iowa; including Pottawattamie, Cass and Harrison counties.

Guest speakers, as well as chapter members, provide interesting programs relating to a wide variety of subjects. The Council Bluffs Chapter, NSDAR, honors the winners of the DAR Good Citizens Awards and Scholarships, American History Essay Contests, Outstanding American History Teacher Contest, and Community Service Awards. The chapter strives to support historic preservation, promote education, and foster patriotism.

Our chapter meetings are held January to May and August to October. Although we do not have formal meetings during these months, our chapter members are active in community events such as Wreaths Across America and events at the Historic Dodge House in Council Bluffs. We participate in local parades, where George Washington and Betsy Ross have been known to make an appearance, and join with other DAR chapters in Iowa and Nebraska to hold special events.

As we have members from three southwestern counties, we try to schedule meetings in each area for the convenience of our members, and also arrange for members who are unable to attend to participate via Zoom.

If you are interested in attending a meeting, please contact us.
