October 12, 2022 Brunswick Town DAR Meeting

Our Brunswick Town DAR librarian gave a wonderful slideshow presentation at our October 12th DAR meeting. She showed very informative slides of the DAR library in Washington DC. She illustrated how to use different websites to obtain valuable information on researching your ancestors and finding new supplementals.

Our DAR Spirit Magazine chair held up 2 of the magazines you will receive with your subscription. You can also take out a 2-year subscription, which a lot of members do. She mentioned in the magazine called Daughters of the American Revolution Newsletter that there is a lot of information from chapters in the United States informing the reader about what their chapters are doing. Our chairman also mentioned if you open the magazine up to the center there will be a list of new ancestors. So be sure to check this out. Let's try to have 100% membership this year.

Wreaths Across America Takes Over Waving Flags - Visit Video

Wreaths Across America executive director joins 'Fox and Friends' on Sept. 6, 2022. (Fox News) to discuss the 9/11-influenced tradition of raising American flags every Tuesday in Maine.

The director also called on Americans to raise their own flags across the country and submit videos to Wreaths Across America via Facebook using the hashtag #flagsacrossamerica.

The flag-raising was first started by three women who stood on the side of the road and raised their American flags on Sept. 11, 2001.

The women committed to the tradition for 19 years until they retired.

Wreaths Across America then "took over the charge," the director said, to carry on the message that "we can always look to [the flag] to pull us together."
