The Brunswick Town Chapter was started in 1976. Brunswick Town Chapter takes part in other celebrations, which includes the naturalization program and a flag retirement ceremony. The new citizens are welcomed with flags and gifts. Our chapter supports the veterans with many activities, and the members continue to show strong support for our military. We work closely with our communities, DAR schools, neighborhood schools and the Literacy Council. We give out Good Citizens and JROTC awards. We have scholarship and essay contests, and we have Native American projects. We constantly help with the education of our citizens to learn more about our patriots, our government, our Constitution, and the Bill of Rights. We publish a chapter newsletter and pamphlet. We have a chapter website http://www.ncdar.org/brunswicktownchapter.htm which is linked to our chapter blog: http://darbrunswicktownchapter.blogspot.com// Anyone interested in finding out more about joining the DAR should visit the sites to see what it is all about.
