Today's DAR
Members and Guests,
A warm welcome to the 134th Continental Congress! We are delighted to gather together as we “Celebrate Stars & Stripes Forever,” honoring the remarkable service and achievements of so many dedicated individuals and groups within our Society.
Throughout the week, we invite you to recognize the outstanding work of our Daughters and to consider bringing their innovative ideas and programs back to your chapters, state societies, and local communities. This is a wonderful opportunity to share inspiration and strengthen our collective impact.
We encourage you to participate fully in the annual business of our Society. Stay informed by using the Congress App for real-time updates—just search for “DAR Continental Congress” in the Google Play Store or Apple App Store. Other additional resources, including the 134th Continental Congress website, the Congress Herald, and the biographies of our Executive Office and Vice President General candidates, are also available to enhance your experience.
There are many ways to support the National Society during Congress, whether through Special Giving, or by visiting the DAR Store, the Insignia Store, the Junior Shop and the DAR Museum.
Our heartfelt thanks go to President General Pamela Edwards Rouse Wright, the Executive Committee, and our dedicated staff—especially Liz Partridge in the Office of the President General, Bren Landon and Amanda DeFrancesco in Public Relations, and Congress Coordinator Candace Mosely—for their exceptional planning and commitment. We are also deeply grateful to the 25 Congress Committee Chairs and 4 Committee National Vice Chairs, whose tireless efforts ensure the success of this event. Their dedication truly makes our Congress “Sparkle.”
As you attend this week’s sessions, programs, and events, we hope you feel inspired to carry forward our mission of Historic Preservation, Education and Patriotism. May you form new friendships, deepen your involvement, and leave with renewed enthusiasm for our shared purpose.
Let us join together with excitement and pride as we celebrate the 134th Continental Congress — “Stars & Stripes Forever!”
