Note from the Membership Committee Chair

Hi Ladies, I know it's been a long, hard, and interesting 21 months in the midst of this Covid-19 pandemic.

Part of my committee's role is to ensure that you are getting the most out of your DAR/Capitol Chapter experience...and therefore in the Spring I will be holding a few informal events to hear from you, hear what you would like to see the chapter do more of, new ideas you have, etc. Additionally, I will be holding a couple of events for prospective members so please send me contact info or reach out to anyone you know who is interested in joining our chapter! Wishing you the happiest of holidays!! In DAR Friendship, Lauren Dore
