To perpetuate the memory and spirit of the men and women who achieved American Independence; to promote the development of an enlightened public opinion; and to foster patriotic citizenship--these are the objects of our society, Daughters of the American Revolution.

Daughters of the American Revolution is a service organization for women in which each member is a lineal descendant of a patriot who gave aid or served as a soldier in the Revolutionary War. Facts about DAR and information about joining DAR are available at the National Society DAR web site. Further information about DAR is available at: National Society DAR and Missouri State Society DAR

The Nancy Hunter Chapter meetings are held on the fourth Wednesday of each month at 1:30 p.m., except the September, December and May meetings which are luncheons. The December luncheon includes a Christmas party for the women veterans of the Cape Girardeau Veteran's Home. Each regular meeting includes ritual, devotion, patriotic exercises, a message from the President General, the National Defense report, and a patriotic, historical, or educational program. Please contact us if you are interested in joining DAR and would like to attend one of our meetings.
