An early morning flight from Denver took me directly to Newark, New Jersey, Karen Stroever, State Regent, where I was met by Lori Bailey of Tamassee and Bruce Stroever. After a brief drive to Princeton it was a distinct pleasure to anticipate two nights in the same hotel. The New Jersey Daughters were celebrating the 19th Amendment to the Constitution and provided many in the processional with authentic suffragette sashes with handmade rosettes. It was a pleasure to meet so many wonderful members and to see my many New Jersey friends.

The New Jersey DAR State Conference (March 28 – 30) marked 127 years with the theme “Making a Difference in Education”. We learned about the long history of NJDAR and the Tamassee DAR School, educated ourselves in order to properly celebrate the Women’s Suffrage Centennial, and discovered whether or not the Jersey Devil is real. Along the way we took some selfies as Suffragettes, collected books for underserved schools, and celebrated our hospitalized Vietnam veterans by collecting supplies and donating for newspaper subscriptions.
