Wreaths Across America December 17, 2022

 We look forward to attending the Wreaths Across America program at Wilmington National Cemetery on December 17th. Please come to help by 11:00. The program starts promptly at 12:00 and will be over by 12:30 then the wreath laying begins. There should be a wreath available for every participant to place on a grave. Be sure to say a little prayer at each grave while placing the wreath. Also, be sure if you are coming to look for our group so we can get a group picture. See you all tomorrow. Dress warmly.

Look for me tomorrow at the wreath-laying ceremony. I might have a black coat on if it is very cold.

December 14, 2022 Brunswick Town DAR Meeting



The Brunswick Town vice-regent introduced the program for the meeting, a performance by the Coastal Harmonizers.  Accompanying and performing with the group was Barbara Berry, the group’s musical director, and the only female accepted into the all-male group.  A smaller quartet was performing for members at the meeting; they referred to themselves as the “Carolina Mix” because they had both male and female voices, and two of the four were from South Carolina and two from North Carolina.  They performed beautifully and thoroughly entertained the members present with familiar Christmas music.  




Constitutional Minute: Brunswick Town DAR librarian answered the Constitution Minute question correctly and received a beautiful gift shown in the photo with the chapter's librarian. 

The question posed to members this month: How long did it take to create the U. S. Constitution?

Answer:  The Constitutional Convention met for nearly four months, from May 25 – September 17, 1787.  After numerous attempts by those in attendance, our librarian offered the correct response.  Congratulations!
