We

Just like you,
we volunteer -
at church, in
nursing homes,
with/for the
veterans, at
schools and
libraries,
protecting
history and
our earth,
adding up to
more than
4,990 hours
this year. The
chapter
received the
Eugenia
Washington
Traveling Gold
Tray
for the most
service hours
per person.

We go on
field trips to
learn about
interesting
places in our
area.
Friends,
mothers,
husbands
(HODARs)
joined us on
our trip to
historic
Montauk.
On the Fort
Atkinson trip,
we had lots of
fresh air and
exercise along
with our
information.
And the
comment, "You
remember when
we were
looking for
those
monuments?"
always brings
a good memory
and stories of
many small
trips around
northeast
Iowa.

|
When the
"monument
search"
couldn't
locate the DAR
plaque at Fort
Atkinson, one
member began
searching on
her own. She
has received
permission
from the Iowa
DNR and the
Iowa State DAR
to replace the
missing
plaque!

projects makes

all.
