Chapter Meetings

Our chapter meets in January, March, May, July, September, and November on the second Saturday of the month. The months of February, April, June, August, October and December offer our members time for committee meetings, gravestone cleanings, field trips to area historical sites, participating in parades and community events, and reading time for our book club. A chapter newsletter is published and distributed on the first day of the “off months” as well. Members are strongly encouraged to attend State Conference and Fall Forum. Our members are proud to support the DAR Good Citizens program and hold a yearly recognition and tea for entrants and their families.

Meetings start at 10 a.m. and include: devotions, patriotic recitations and song, the reading of the President General's message, and the National Defense Committee report. Updates are presented by the chapter committee chairmen. Set programs include a January book club discussion based on a Revolutionary War themed book, our annual meeting in March, and an anniversary tea in May with special remembrances to our founding members. Presenting innovative and fun programs related to the DAR tenets of education, patriotism and historic preservation is our goal.

Associate members are welcome! Prospective members are encouraged to contact us for more information. Our chapter registrar and membership committee are eager to assist prospective members with genealogy questions and in filling out DAR application papers.

For more information, please contact the regent at lvh.dar@gmail.com.
