All ISDAR members should be proud of our award-winning DAR Magazine, American Spirit. The wonderfully entertaining features and rich photos are hallmarks of this outstanding publication, which is a fascinating read for those interested in history, genealogy, patriotism and education. A DAR member's subscription to American Spirit also includes copies of the Daughters newsletter, which provides up-to-date news, committee information and actions of the National Board of Management.

Chapter Regents, along with Chapter Magazine Chairs, should encourage every member to subscribe to these wonderful periodicals. Promote the magazine and newsletter by bringing recent copies to meetings, workshops and conferences and urge members to subscribe or renew. Increased circulation not only helps to defray our costs, but also attracts interest from outside advertisers. Subscriptions to American Spirit aren't limited to just DAR members, but can be a wonderful gift for a local library, school, care center, friend or family member. The magazine appeals to so many people; why not share the message and promote this superb publication?

An annual subscription to this bi-monthly magazine is only $18 — that's less than $3 per issue! Not only is the magazine a wonderful piece of reading material, it's also a really great bargain! To subscribe, you can use a subscription card (one was placed in each chapter's mailbox at Board of Management); visit www.dar.org/americanspirit or call 1-866-327-6242.

Consider celebrating your successes by submitting information releases to the Daughters newsletter. A great way to share the information is through the "With the Chapters" feature of the Daughters newsletter, and the submission of articles of interest is always encouraged. High-quality photographs, especially those that are action shots, are particularly helpful. One submission per year per chapter is accepted, and there is no charge. Submissions are limited to 200 words and may be edited for space, clarity, and style. Simply send your item to newsletter@dar.org

Best wishes for a fantastic chapter year!
