Since our founding in 1890, DAR members have worked tirelessly to promote historic <br />preservation, patriotism and educational ideals in communities across this nation and in <br />overseas chapters. To help highlight the DAR service organization mission, members are <br />encouraged to perform and record their volunteer service efforts. Through Service to America <br />we hope to demonstrate the DAR's widespread significant impact in our communities. <br />DAR members are working toward the goal of 19 million hours of community service. <br />The Service to America initiative encourages members to become involved in community <br />service to discover the rewards of volunteerism, to demonstrate the positive volunteer <br />opportunities associated with DAR members to others and to help make their local <br />communities a better, more friendly place. DAR members are giving back to their <br />communities in appreciation for the nation they love! <br />With a 19 million hours goal in mind, members are challenged to discover the impact they <br />make in their local communities by performing all types of community service. <br />Members volunteer with veterans at their local VA hospitals, make care packages for troops <br />stationed overseas, clean up local parks, work at homeless shelters and food banks, among <br />many other service activities. <br />ELK RIVER VOTING DISPLAY <br />Service to America <br />DAR Members have volunteered <br />hours this year. <br />Learn more about the community <br />outreach of members... <br />This year, Constitution Week activity includes a VOTING DISPLAY at the ELK <br />RIVER PUBLIC LIBRARY.
