DAR Magazine Office Announces New Contest: American Spirit Superstar Award

Aubrey Williams, National Chair, DAR Magazine

The DAR Magazine Office is excited to announce the American Spirit Superstar Award Contest!

Did you know that we met our previous goal of 50,000 subscriptions over the summer? The excitement keeps growing and that number keeps climbing higher. The November/December 2021 issue of American Spirit will soon be mailing out to more than 54,000 subscribers! Will one of those be yours?

President General Denise VanBuren has set a new goal to increase the subscription count to 58,000 to beat the all-time high record of 57,814 subscribers after the excitement of the Bicentennial celebration in 1976—and YOU can help us reach that goal by participating in the American Spirit Superstar Award Contest!

This new contest encourages all DAR chapters to achieve 100% member participation on magazine subscriptions. This is a great opportunity to introduce our DAR publications to your fellow members who don’t subscribe to the award-winning American Spirit magazine. American Spirit shines a light on the early period of American history from the 1600s through the Federal period of the 1820s. Subscribers who are members also receive the Daughters newsletter free with their subscription. The Daughters newsletter shares news at the chapter, state and national level, and helps members to stay involved and “in the know” about the National Society. Now is the perfect time to get your members excited about our publications!

Participation in the contest is simple—all you have to do is subscribe! Any chapter with 100% member participation in subscriptions will be included. Chapters that achieve 100% member participation will be awarded a special certificate during the 131st Continental Congress in late June 2022. Winning chapters will also be recognized as superstars in a future issue of the Daughters newsletter published after Congress.

The new contest began on October 15, 2021, and will run through May 16, 2022. The contest will be based on the chapter’s official membership count as of January 1, 2022. All subscription and renewal payments must be received in the DAR Magazine Office by May 16, 2022. Gift subscriptions are acceptable if a chapter member donates the subscription to another member of the same chapter. Does your chapter have new members? Give them a warm welcome gift with a subscription to American Spirit!

Subscriptions and renewals will be accepted by phone, online and mail orders. Acceptable forms of payment are check or credit card. If the preferred method of payment is by credit card, Chapter Treasurers may submit a list of subscribers to [email protected] and the Subscriptions Coordinator will call the Chapter Treasurer to collect the credit card information within a few days to process the order. Upon completion of the transaction, Chapter Treasurers will receive the receipt and confirmation of processed subscriptions via email.

You can help us beat the all-time high subscription count.  Thank you so much for your support of our publications.

Let American Spirit shine in your chapter and be an American Spirit Superstar!
