Why Join the Mary Desha Chapter?
“My journey to DAR was one of camaraderie, wonderment and respect, not only in pursuit of membership but specifically sisterhood among Mary Desha Chapter. I owe my eternal gratitude and sincerest hopes to Mary Desha Daughters and feel fortunate to be among their ranks.”
“I joined DAR because of my interest in genealogy; I joined the Mary Desha Chapter because I made friends with an amazing bunch of women who always have fun together.”
“My grandmother was a member of DAR. I’ll admit I never thought I’d be that involved, but I found a group of kindred spirits in the Mary Desha Chapter. These women are all so smart, funny, and engaging, and we all enjoy helping in our community together.”
