Saturday’s chapter program featured David Witter, President of the Lewis & Clark Chapter, SAR, who presented a really interesting, fun, and informative program about the Sons of the American Revolution (SAR).
He spoke about the beginnings of the SAR and some of its current service activities (including school presentations), and he brought a wonderful hands-on display of small items used in the daily life of the families “holding down the fort” at home. He also discussed several patriotic women’s contributions to the cause of the Revolution and provided information about the new Revolutionary War Memorial being installed at the Veterans Memorial Park in Beaverton next spring.
