A workshop for women interested in joining the Lily of the Cahaba Chapter of the National Society Daughters of the American Revolution (NSDAR) will be held from Sunday, July 28 from 2:30-5 p.m. The workshop will be held in the Meeting Room (lower level) at Hoover Public Library, 200 Municipal Drive.
The free workshop offers an opportunity to learn more about membership in the Daughters of the American Revolution as well as receive assistance in identifying patriot ancestors and the application process. Any woman is eligible for membership who is 18 years of age and can prove lineal, blood descent from an ancestor who aided in achieving American independence.
The National Society Daughters of the American Revolution was founded in 1890 to promote patriotism, preserve American history and support better education for our nation's children. With more than 165,000 members in approximately 3,000 chapters worldwide, DAR is one of the world's largest and most active service organizations.
The Lily of the Cahaba Chapter meets the second Saturday of the month, September through May. The chapter is based in Hoover and serves surrounding communities. For more information about the workshop or membership, contact Shelby Bailey at robert_bailey1@yahoo.com.
