We cannot live only for ourselves. A thousand
fibers connect us with our fellow-men; and along those fibers, as
sympathetic threads, our actions run as causes, and they come back to us as
effects.

Daughters of the American Revolution Convene in Washington, D.C.
116th Continental Congress held in DAR Constitution Hall
7/20/07 The nation's capital welcomed more
than 3,000 members of one of its foremost service organizations recently with
the arrival of the Daughters of the American Revolution (DAR) for their 116th
annual Continental Congress.
The opening night ceremony’s keynote speaker was
Presidential historian Robert Norton Smith, Scholar in Residence at George Mason
University. In attendance were Fayetteville's James Waldrop Chapter DAR members
Betty Harrah and Carolyn Balog.
“It’s inspiring to see so many Daughters make the trip to Washington to
celebrate their hard work and accomplishments during the past year,” said
Presley Merritt Wagoner, President General. “The reports of our members’
enthusiastic dedication to historic preservation, education, and patriotism make
it clear that DAR is playing an important role in cities and towns across the
country.”
The National Society Daughters of the American Revolution was founded in 1890 to
promote patriotism, preserve American history, and support better education for
our nation's children. Its members are descended from the patriots who won
American independence during the Revolutionary War. With more than 168,000
members in approximately 3,000 chapters worldwide, DAR is one of the world's
largest and most active service organizations. DAR is also the publisher of the
award-winning magazine American Spirit.
