Hawai'i State Visit

Hawaiʻi Daughters gathered with pride, unity and love at our state conference held on March 7, 2026. We were tickled “pink” to welcome our lovely President General, Ginnie Sebastian Storage, greeting her with Aloha spirit, a hug, smiles, and a lei. Montana State Regent Janice Hand joined us, too, adding extra sparkle to the celebration.

What better way to start off our visit than with a little shopping at Hilo Hattie’s and, a bit later, enjoying a delicious dinner along the beach with Diamond Head in the background. We were blessed to have Christine Domhoff, Hawai'i State Vice Regent, join us.

Prior to the conference, we toured Honolulu’s historic Mission Houses with 27 Daughters and C.A.R. members - such history! One building, the oldest still standing, left us in awe. It was so interesting to listen to the impact of the missionaries and their relationships with the Hawaiian people. That afternoon, we traded casual clothes for cocktail attire and attended an elegant event hosted by the President General and the NSDAR Development Department. Mrs. Storage stirred excitement and pride as she shared DAR’s inspiring projects – ensuring our legacy shines for generations.

The Hawai'i State theme for this administration is “Be proud, share the Aloha and celebrate with glory, service, unity and love.” Our members embodied every word – through tireless community work, literacy programs, and service to veterans just to name a few areas of our DAR work. The primary state project is to write a book honoring our Gold Star families. We’re also marking America 250! with special events, moving into the future through digitizing our state records, preserving historic sites, and boosting member education via DAR Leadership Training courses.
