Organized March 26, 1929 
Almost eight decades
have passed since the greatly loved Grace Burrows Taylor organized the Rio
Grande Chapter in McAllen on March 26, 1929. The name Rio Grande was
selected because the “Big River” which forms this valley is a living symbol of
the continuity and timelessness of history.
Rio Grande Chapter,
NSDAR offers many opportunities for service. We work with our youth through
educational programs; encourage our members to be involved in their
communities with historic preservation, and promote the preservation of
our local histories. It provides the opportunity to meet new people
with similar interests and to develop friendships with those who enjoy
promoting the ideals of patriotism and love of country. We
share the same passion in trying to make America a better place in which to
live.
Three neighboring chapters, Colonel Henry Hill, Du Bois
Hite, and Sam Maverick were organized by members of the Rio Grande Chapter. We
are part of the Rio Grande Valley Regent’s Council and share the hosting of a
Flag Day Celebration with other members of the council. We are working on
building membership through interesting programs and community involvement and
thus strengthening our beloved TSDAR and NSDAR.
