REGENT'S MESSAGE
“Vibrant” and “alive” are the words to describe today’s DAR. We are no longer
women who sit around drinking tea and talking about orchids. We are a group
of intelligent, talented, educated women whose interests range from
environmental to feeding the poor to the arts. Our genealogy work is world-
known. We actively seek new members to join our “Circle of Friendship.”   
Tampa Chapter members participate in activities as diverse as Bingo night at
the Haley VA Hospital in Tampa, walking in the Veterans’ Day Parade there,
viewing the Degas exhibit at the new Tampa Museum of Art, and New Citizens
Naturalization Ceremonies.  We award medals to outstanding high school and
college ROTC cadets and host a Spring Tea (the last one included a pianist and
a clown for entertainment.)  We are starting a “Historical Book” club, we collect
canned food and personal hygiene products for displaced women and veterans,
and we conduct special celebrations of two of our country’s premier events: Our
Constitution and Presidents Day.  We have college scholarships available and
a plethora of other out-reach programs.

To all who are members:  Let others know the delights and joys of DAR.
To all who are not members:  Come join us and see for yourself.
