The
Sagamore Chapter has grown during the years
since its formation in 1965. Our
roots
are built on the love of God and country upon which is our
nation’s foundation. Members
work together to perpetuate DAR
ideals in the memory and spirit of the men and women who achieved
American independence. We
sustain historic preservation, education, and patriotism within the DAR
organization and throughout the community. Lasting
friendships are made and enjoyed as we work
together.
We take an active role
in the
community and members can be seen in a
number of
activities and functions throughout the year. A
Bingo party is hosted for veterans in Leavenworth
Hospital
in June. In
December, members
will be bell ringing for the Salvation Army. At
naturalization ceremonies, cookies and punch are
served by members to welcome
our new American citizens. In
September, the chapter
celebrates
Constitution Week with a display at the Town Center Library. Food
labels and other
donations go toward educational
support of the DAR Schools.
Annually,
winners are selected from grades 5-8 for the DAR American History Essay
Contest, and from high school seniors for the DAR Good
Citizens
Awards.
Monthly
meetings are enriched with an opening devotion, Pledge of
Allegiance
to the
Flag of the United
States of America,
The American’s Creed, and the Star-Spangled
Banner. The
President General’s Message
from the current DAR Magazine, a National Defense Report, and special
programs
are presented.
We
welcome new and prospective members. Please
email our
for more information about meetings and membership.
"Americans
are a free people, who know that freedom is the right of every person
and the future of every nation. The liberty we prize is not America's
gift to the world; it is God's gift to humanity."
George
W. Bush
(1946 - ), State
of the Union address 2003
