 "Looking backward with pride to the accomplishments of
our ancestors and pointing forward with zeal and hope!”

 
For 100 plus years, the Andrew Carruthers Chapter has been a welcoming and fun group started for juniors that now incorporates everyone. We are a relaxed and energetic chapter and hope you will come join in our fun and camaraderie!

I feel honored and privileged to be taking the reins of this historic chapter and enjoy working with such an outstanding group of women. All continue to work for the benefit not only of our chapter, but also for the National Society with integrity, honesty, loyalty, and respect for all. We have been blessed with tremendous leadership and I hope to continue this tradition in all the endeavors that this chapter excels at within the DAR framework of God, Home, and Country.

In DAR Friendship,
Shannon Green Owen
Chapter Regent
About the DAR

The Daughters of the American Revolution is a non-profit, non-political, volunteer women's service organization dedicated to promoting patriotism, preserving American history, and securing America's future through better education.

Membership in DAR

Andrew Carruthers Chapter has about 140 members, Junior Members, and associate members, primarily from Travis County and Austin. About one fourth of our group is comprised of loyal members who have moved elsewhere but still maintain local chapter membership. This includes the daughter of the founder of the chapter. Our members include many business and professional women, retired military, wives of retired military, students, and mothers.

Membership in the National Society Daughters of the American Revolution is open to all women eighteen years of age and older who can provide lineal, blood descent from an ancestor who aided in achieving American independence. The Andrew Carruthers Chapter registrar and members of the Lineage Research Committee maintain an extensive list of genealogical resources. They are always available to help prospective members create ancestral charts for direct lines to ancestors who served the American Revolution cause.

Please contact us if you are interested in attending our meetings. We welcome prospective members and guests. We invite you to visit our links to learn more about our chapter's history, activities, patriots, and officers.
