DAR Christmas Meeting/Tea

The annual DAR Luncheon/Tea was a huge success. As you can see there was a variety of salads and desserts for everyone to share. The business part of the luncheon was finished early, so the fun could begin. After all the chairman of the committees and officers gave their reports everyone sat down with their platters to an intriguing game of Revolutionary Bingo. DAR member, Betsy Pessetto asked a historical question and everyone had to think of the answer. Then find it on the bingo board and mark it with a penny. This was more challenging than you might think.

Commemorative Events in History

Norma Eckard, the DAR Commemorative Chair presented several events to be aware of during the November 9^th DAR meeting.  First, October 28, 2011, the Statue of Liberty celebrated its 125th anniversary.  A gift of friendship from the people of France in 1886, the statue is a symbol of freedom, democracy and recognition of our friendship and support during the Revolutionary War.  A naturalization ceremony swore in 125 immigrants from 46 countries.  Miss Liberty holds a tablet in her left hand that reads "July 4, 1776" (in Roman numerals) and the seven rays on her crown symbolizes the seven seas and seven continents.  She will be closed for a year to be renovated.

The second event honored Veterans Day which this year is celebrated on 11/11/11.  Veterans of all the armed forces are honored at this time.  Red, white and blue pins were presented to all DAR members.

The last event honored was Pearl Harbor Day, December 7, 1941, "a day which will live in infamy", "a quote from Franklin D. Roosevelt's speech to Congress on December 8th, 1941 when he asked Congress to pass a declaration of war on Japan. The 70th anniversary is recognized this year.  DAR members were asked to complete an index card stating what they remember, where they were or what family comments were passed down at that time and bring the card to the December meeting.

Veterans Hospital in Fayetteville, NC Needs Help

The Veterans Hospital has been one of the projects supported by our DAR chapter. It serves both inpatient and outpatient veterans, as well as patients in nursing home facilities. Working with the volunteer department, we can do several things to help support those men and women who have given so much for our freedom. Below is a list of items that should be brought to the December 14th DAR meeting at Brunswick Electric.

This is a link for the needs at the VA facility in Fayetteville.  If you want to make a donation or send the veterans any of the items please do so on your own and let me know what contribution you made sandsdarmary@gmail.com.

October 12th DAR meeting

Diane Kuebert, DAR Schools Chairman

The October 12^th    DAR meeting was held at Brunswick Electric in Shallotte, NC. The program was given by member Diane Kuebert, DAR Schools Chairman.   The very informative program consisted of a synopsis of the history and mission of each of the DAR approved schools.  There is additional information posted in a prior article on the blog about the DAR schools.

Fire Prevention Week

DAR members, Nadine Bray, Women's Issue's chairman shows her display for Fire Prevention Week to Lila Fordyce.

October 9-15, 2011 is Fire Prevention Week.  This year’s theme is “It’s Fire Prevention Week.  Protect your family from Fire.”  As always the focus of Fire Prevention Week is to prevent home fires.  This year, the campaign is also urging people to protect their homes and families with planning and life-saving technology – like smoke alarms.

Smoke alarms are an important part of a home fire escape plan.  Working smoke alarms cut the risk of dying in a home fire in half.  Unfortunately, many homes have smoke alarms that just don’t work.  In fact, according to the nonprofit National Fire Protection Association (NFPA), roughly two-thirds of home fire deaths happen in homes with no smoke alarms or no working smoke alarms. About one in five of smoke alarm failures was due to dead batteries.

So when you set your clocks back on November 6, use the extra hour to make a life-saving change in your household – change and test the batteries in your smoke alarms and carbon monoxide detectors – and remind your friends, family, and neighbors to do the same.  This simple act takes just a moment, but is the best defense your family has against the devastating effects of a home fire.

Do you have a smoke alarm?
Do you have carbon monoxide detectors?
Do you have a plan for keeping the batteries fresh?

Keep yours alert by changing the batteries when daylight savings time ends on November 6th.  Remember “Change Your Clock, Change Your Battery®.”

OSTEOPOROSIS

Ann Warren, Nadine Bray, Diane Price and Connie Davidson look over Ostoperosis information.

Nadine Bray, the Women’s Issues chairman of the Brunsiwck Town Chapter shared some information on Osteoporosis and provided handouts related to improving your bone health, calcium supplements, preventing falls, and sources of calcium.  There is also a comprehensive booklet which provides a guide to prevention and treatment.

 In May the National Osteoporosis Foundation and Harris Interactive released the results of a survey about osteoporosis awareness and prevention.  Overall, they felt the survey showed promising results, with most respondents indicating they were aware of osteoporosis, its risk factors and how to prevent the disease.  However, 34 percent of respondents indicated they had never heard of osteoporosis at all, showing more work needed to be done.

 Osteoporosis is a major public health threat for an estimated 44 million Americans.  Ten million Americans currently live with the disease and nearly 34 million are estimated to have low bone density.  Of the 10 million with the disease, 8 million are women. 

 Osteoporosis, which means “porous bones,” causes bones to become weak and brittle – so brittle that a fall or even mild stresses like bending over or coughing can cause a fracture.

 A common result of osteoporosis is fractures – most of them occurring in the spine, hip or wrist.  It’s never too late – or too early – to do something about osteoporosis.  You each can take steps to keep bones strong and healthy throughout life.

 In early stages of bone loss, you usually have no pain or other symptoms.  But once bones have been weakened by osteoporosis, you may have osteoporosis signs and symptoms that include:

 

· Back pain, which can be severe, as a result of a fractured or collapsed vertebra

· Loss of height over time

· A stooped posture

· Fracture of the vertebra, wrist, hip or other bone

Because osteoporosis rarely causes signs or symptoms until it’s advanced, the National Osteoporosis Foundation recommends a bone density test if you are:

·         A women older than age 65, regardless of risk factors
·         Older than age 50 with a history of a broken bone
·         Take medications such as prednisone or anti-seizure drugs that are associated with osteoporosis
·         A postmenopausal women who has recently stopped taking hormone therapy, or
·         A woman who experienced early menopause
·         A post-menopausal woman with at least one risk factor for osteoporosis

Some of these risk factors you can change, others you can’t.

 Risk factors you can change:

• Calcium intake
• Tobacco use
• Eating disorders
• Sedentary lifestyle
• Alcohol consumption
• Corticosteroid and other medications

 Risk factors you can’t change:

            ·         Being a woman
            ·         Getting older
            ·         Race
            ·         Family history of osteoporosis
            ·         Frame size
            ·         Thyroid hormone
            ·         Medical conditions and procedures that affect bone health

 In its press release, the National Osteoporosis called on all Americans to get educated about osteoporosis – understand the risk factors, learn how to prevent the disease and take action.  That means:

        ·        Striving to get enough calcium and Vitamin D every day

        ·         Do regular, bone healthy, weight-bearing and muscle-strengthening exercises
        ·         Don’t smoke or drink too much alcohol
        ·         Talk to your healthcare provider about your chance of getting osteoporosis and ask when you should have a bone density test, and
        ·        Take an osteoporosis medicine when appropriate

 It also means talking to family and friends.  Many people do not realize that osteoporosis is often considered a pediatric disease with geriatric consequences – approximately 85 – 90 percent of adult bone mass is acquired by 18 in girls and 20 in boys.  That’s why I stated earlier – it’s never too early or too late to take steps to improve bone health and why parents and grandparents alike are encouraged to have a conversation with their children and grandchildren about bone health and osteoporosis.

September 14th DAR Meeting

The guest speaker for the September 14th DAR meeting was Terry Ward, a DAR Docent, who gave a program on the DAR Museum in Washington, D.C.  Her informative talk included a slide show and virtual tour of the museum highlighting the North Carolina Room.  

We Remember 9/11

        

          The NSDAR National Commemorative Events Chair, Norma Eckard, recently visited Shanksville, PA, the site where Flight 93 crashed on 9/11 at the hands of terrorists, causing the death of 40 passengers and flight personnel and 4 terrorists.  She listed several events that we as a DAR chapter need to recognize, and the 10^th Anniversary of 9/11 is one of them. In addition, a window banner, We Remember, published by the National DAR, has been sent to all members by our regent, Lisa Pomeranz, prior to the anniversary of 9/11. The banner is meant to be printed by DAR members and placed in a window of our homes in memory of 9/11.

         There is a small parking area beside a metal shed, deserted by a strip mine coal company that is used as a temporary memorial site holding original pictures and descriptions of the event.  As you enter, there is a table with large index cards for visitors to write their thoughts and feelings about 9/11.  Visitors can post mark the cards and place them in a mail box and the park service will compile all the writings into a future booklet.  Although the make shift site is somewhat rustic, eventually the 200 acres that were purchased by the National Park Service will be developed into a fine memorial site.   Norma wrote her message, describing why she was visiting, that she was representing our DAR chapter and that she would return and tell about the thoughts and feelings of her visit to the Flight 93 resting place of those who perished.  If the passengers had not made a decision to stop the terrorists perhaps the plane would have crashed into the Capitol or the White House.  The plane was 20 minutes from DC, when the terrorist ordered, "Put it down".
