Countdown to Congress!

The 133rd Continental Congress is almost upon us! Before you travel to National Headquarters in Washington D.C., to reunite with other sparkling Daughters, please review these important reminders!

• Check-in and on-site registration are available starting Monday, June 24 from 11 a.m. through 6 p.m. in the We the People Dining Hall on the lower level of the Administration building. See the rest of the week’s registration hours in the Congress Schedule.
• Please be aware that you MUST have your registration badge with you to enter any of the DAR buildings. When you arrive please head straight to the We The People Dining Hall on the lower level of the Administration Building.
• As you may have noticed, Memorial Continental Hall is currently undergoing a historic restoration and parts of the building (including the Banquet Hall and many of the DAR Museum period rooms) are active construction sites! Please follow the posted instructions to keep a safe environment.
