The Chapter takes a summer hiatus from June to August. Unless otherwise notified, the meetings always start at 10:00

prospective members, or guests who wish to, the ability to attend.
Children
of the American Revolution
David Hill Chapter is the sponsor for a society of the Children of the American
Revolution, C.A.R. The William Cannon Society C.A.R. is very active and plans programs for the children that are educational,
communtiy service oriented and fun.
If you have children or grandchildren that may be interested in joining this incredible
children's organization, you can e-mail the David Hill Chapter or e-mail them directly at CARWilliamCannon@Verizon.net.
Veteran's
Corner
Millie O'Connor, Service to Veterans Committee Chairman, is always planning for ways to better
serve the veterans in our community. David Hill looks for any service opportunities or veteran focused celebrations
to which we can give our support. Support of the Portland Veterans Hospital, Veteran's day parades and Veteran's
memorial celebrations are just a few of the opportunites we have to support the veterans in our community.
Education
and Scholarship
The Education and Scholarship Committee Chairman, Janice Heckethorne, sends yearly information
to local schools to notify them of some of the NSDAR's education and scholarship opportunities. This packet also
gives the schools information about the Good Citizen Contest and the Essay Contests sponsored by NSDAR. The judging
committee sends chapter winners on to the State level for further competition and possible recognition and scholarship awards
at the National level.
Flag of
the United States of America
Our Flag of the United States of America Committee Chairman, Mary Ellen Holmes,
has a great deal of experience, knowledge about, and love for our country's flag. As a past State Committee Chairman
for Flag of the United States of America, she gives a wealth of help and information about our flag. Mrs. Holmes
nominates community organizations or members for special certificates when they show exemplary handling of the American
flag. She also works hard to facilitate donation of American flags to worthy community organizations.
Genealogy
David Hill Chapter and NSDAR is all about genealogy and family history. David Hill has
three specially trained Volunteer Genealogists, and general members who are happily willing to help those wishing to research
their family history for membership in NSDAR. We sponsor a public Genealogy Workshop in our community every year, and
we can help individuals by appointment.
