The lovely ladies of the Susannah French Putney Chapter of the Daughters of the American Revolution (DAR) met for their Sept. 18 meeting at the Butler County Historical Society in El Dorado. The tables were decorated in a patriotic theme. Hostesses for the meeting were Marsha Todd and Kay Catlin and members were treated with a delicious homemade pumpkin cake.
Regent Teresa Bachman called the meeting to order. Ann Wimberly, chaplain, shared a patriotic reading for the group. Regent Bachman shared the certificates earned by the group in the previous year. One certificate went to two individuals from the homeless support group of El Dorado. There was also a certificate given to the members for their outstanding amount of service hours to their communities. A special certificate was presented to Wimberly for outstanding greeting cards.
Also during the meeting, members signed many Christmas cards for veterans at the Winfield Veterans home, which is an ongoing endeavor of the group. The chapter is planning to visit the home for their November meeting in honor of Veterans Day. Also for Veteran’s day, members assist with the festivities in El Dorado, where there is a parade and a concert during the weekend.
The next meeting will be held at Cottonwood Falls for lunch and a tour of the Chase County Historical Museum, led by member Sue Ann Brown.
