Chapter Activities

The DAR objectives are the perpetuation of the memory of the men and women who achieved American Independence. This is done through the preservation of historic relics, locations, and records of individual service; the encouragement of research and publication of historic documents; the promotion of patriotism and love of country; and the support of educational facilities. The Andrew Carruthers Chapter, NSDAR, supports these goals through the following activities:
