Let’s be honest: we all know shopping is one of our favorite activities during Continental Congress! After all, thanks to the fabulous items available in the Congress Shops, the Junior Shoppe and the DAR Store, there are always fun, new things to add to our DAR collections.

Well, great news! You can still find your treasures – but this year do it from the comfort of your home because all these shops are ready to take your online orders during the Virtual 129^th Continental Congress! No waiting in line, no aching feet, no stress – just point and click!

The DAR Store

And how fun is this? The DAR Store has a special limited-edition item to celebrate our historic first online Congress: make sure you snap up your  Virtual Congress Pouch! This cotton, zippered electronics pouch has an interior pocket divider and text that declares, "I Made History! Rise & Shine Online, 129th Virtual Continental Congress, June 24-28, 2020." What better place to keep all your electronic accessories than in a keepsake of this groundbreaking virtual event?!?!?!?

I’m pleased that the DAR Store also has a variety of other new and exciting items that support the President General’s Project here. I hope that the administration’s flashy new evening bag, stylin’ shawl and bling-tastic shoe clips will wow you! Our tote, scarf and other Sunshine items continue to be hot sellers. So, hop online and order those items you missed out on when your state conference was canceled this spring!

Need MORE incentive to shop until your mouse drops? Spend $100 and include at least one President General’s Project item in your order, and we’ll ship your entire order for free!

So, let’s review: great new products, easy shopping and free shipping for those who qualify. And all while in your slippers!
