North Dakota State Visit

I was so looking forward to the opportunity to join the Daughters of North Dakota for your 117th State Conference in Fargo; however, winter weather prevented my visit. I was delighted to hear what a wonderful and successful gathering it was. Your warm fellowship and dedication to service truly reflect the spirit of the DAR. I am especially proud of the exciting initiatives you continue to lead, and I look forward to adding North Dakota back to my travel schedule so I may gather with you in person very soon.

- Ginnie Sebastian Storage, President General

Despite old man weather, the 117th North Dakota State Society DAR Conference was held February 21st, 2026 in Fargo, North Dakota. Just a couple days prior to the conference, North Dakota was hit by snow and a winter storm warning. However, by conference day the roads were manageable. Several of us and our guests from South Dakota, Minnesota, and Nebraska took to the road and made it to Fargo. Unfortunately, Chicago wanted to keep President General Ginnie Sebastian Storage and she was unable to attend. However, like they say, “The Show Must Go On.”

It was a great day full of excitement. There were, of course, the business meetings but also the Insignia Pop-Up Shop, silent auctions, prize drawings and trivia. 

While some members were attending to business other members and guests were able to fill activity bags for donation to the Fargo Department of Veterans Affairs and take a guided tour of the Plains Art Museum.

I am so blessed to have a wonderful group of women supporting and working together serving in our society. Thank you, to guests, pages, and members who were able to attend the conference and make it a success.

We sincerely missed Mrs. Storage. However, we understand it is February, we are in North Dakota, and old man winter can be unpredictable. The show did go on and we got business taken care of. We all had a wonderful time together, Illuminating our Legacy.
