Chattanooga, a city known for its rich history and vibrant community spirit, has recently taken a joyous step in recognizing an important local and national tradition. The Chattanooga DAR Regent Council was delighted to receive a DAR Day of Service Proclamation from Hamilton County Mayor Weston Wamp. This special proclamation commemorates a day that marks the anniversary of the founding of the National Society of Daughters of the American Revolution (NSDAR).
Founded on October 11, 1890, the NSDAR has a long-standing history spanning over 134 years of dedicated service and commitment to the betterment of communities across the nation. Each year, the Daughters of the Revolution around the country celebrate this day with meaningful community service activities. The activities are not just about giving back— they resonate with the core goals of the organization, which are Education, Patriotism, and Historic Preservation.
This year, the Chattanooga Regent Council has chosen to present the proclamation to the Downtown Library, recognizing the pivotal role it plays in the local community. Libraries are not merely places for books; they serve as cherished hubs for learning, gathering, and enhancing the cultural fabric of our city. Providing support to such organizations is a reflection of the Council’s commitment to fostering community growth.
The Chattanooga Regent Council is made up of a dedicated group of women, each contributing their unique talents and leadership from various chapters. This year’s leadership team includes:
These women work collaboratively throughout the year, planning and organizing a variety of events that engage all five chapters, fostering a sense of unity and collaboration.
For the members of the Chattanooga DAR, and indeed for many members across the country, days like this are an opportunity to pause, reflect, and recommit to the values the NSDAR was founded upon. Activities might include volunteering, educational outreach, or even preservation projects that help maintain the history of our communities.
As the council continues its efforts, they invite residents of Chattanooga to participate, explore, and get involved with their local DAR chapters. There’s always a way to contribute and make a difference, whether through volunteer work, learning about local history, or simply supporting fellow community members.
As the Chattanooga DAR Regent Council celebrates this proclamation and the day of service, they remind everyone that together, we can create a place where history is cherished, education is prioritized, and patriotism is honored. The work done by the DAR Daughters has a lasting impact, not just for their members, but for everyone in the community.
So, if you find yourself in Chattanooga and hear someone exclaim, “There’s never anything to do around here!” remember that the DAR is actively serving, preserving, and uplifting the community. There’s more happening than one might expect, and there’s always room for more hands on deck!
