It’s all about YOU! While it was a thrill to surpass one million members since our founding at the beginning of this month, I hope that you continue to enjoy the DAR Million Members Celebration that honors all of our members. Thank you to all of the Daughters and chapters that have taken part by celebrating their members past and present in ways large and small. But let’s not stop now – let’s continue to tell the world about who we are and what we do in order to demonstrate the vitality and purpose of our National Society. Here’s an overview of the campaign and ways that you can still be involved:
Share Your Chapter Members’ Stories Locally
While we have been highlighting DAR members’ stories on the National DAR website and social media platforms this past month, we also encouraged you to do the same in your community via your chapter’s social media platforms or through your local media. We created a template news release that your chapter can use to spread the word about DAR’s historic milestone while also highlighting members from your own chapter. The news release has been downloaded more than 1,000 times so we are excited that many of you have participated in the campaign on your local level to celebrate the stories of your members and are encouraging other eligible women in your area to join your chapter. Great job – thank you!
Here are just a few examples of how this outreach was used to promote DAR:
