Chapter Programs
Young and old, active and retired, our members, all direct descendants of Revolutionary War patriots, are bound together with pride in our inheritance and our love of country. We are a group of ladies with varied backgrounds and talents. Members share a great heritage. We welcome you to visit us at our meetings or events. A monthly meeting includes a luncheon followed by a program of historical, educational or patriotic interest, and a regular business meeting. Join us and become acquainted with the devoted women who carry on the valuable work of our chapter. We meet the first Monday of every month except for January, July, and August.
