Chapter Accomplishments
Conservation
Our two raised beds, a "Sunshine Garden," built on our chapter house property in 2020 has been recognized by the Conservation Committee at the national level. Chapter members grew, harvested, and donated over 400 pounds of produce to give to homebound members and local food pantries in 2020. Work on the garden continues into 2023.
Historic Preservation
Following in the chapter tradition since saving William Henry Harrison's Indiana home, our chapter continues to preserve local history. In July of 2020, the chapter marked the grave of Elihu Stout, printer of the first newspaper in the Indiana Territory, the Indiana Gazette. His grave is located in Greenlawn Cemetery. In October of 2024, the grave of Francis Vigo will be marked to formally document his service as a Patriot in the American Revolution.
Outstanding Juniors
Chapter members Lindsay Owens (2020), Haley Lancaster (2014), and Sarah Downing (2012) have been named Indiana's Outstanding Junior member for their service to NSDAR.
Service for Veterans
Our chapter cares about supporting veterans in our community. We send hundreds of holiday cards to veterans in hospice care. We have provided Christmas Comfort Gift Bags for veterans in local assisted living facilities and taken an active part in Wreaths Across America.
