Our chapter donated 35 books to McDermott Elementary School on November 20, 2024. McDermott is a Title 1 School with approximately 300 students, many from low-income families.
The donated books are appropriate for students K-5th grade and focus on our patriots and founding fathers who have been underrepresented, forgotten, or excluded from both the written and oral histories of the American Revolution. These books were chosen to highlight their contributions and achievements in the struggle for American Independence.
We hope these books will encourage students, parents, and school leaders to learn more about the history of our country and the diverse and patriotic individuals who played a role in our freedom.
These books were purchased through our America 250! Celebration Grant.

Members of the Little Rock-Centennial Chapter attended the Arkansas Women Veterans Symposium on Saturday, March 23, 2024, at the Clinton Presidential Center.  One of the first people we met was the President of the Military Women’s Memorial in Washington, DC.  She also happens to be a member of DAR in Virginia.

During a break, members signed up (using their cell phones) to research obituaries and submit HERstory.  What a great way to honor women veterans.

Our chapter participated in Constitution Week – September 17-23, 2022. There was an awesome exhibit at the Capitol.

Little Rock-Centennial Chapter members participated in the Summer Cereal Drive for the Arkansas Food Bank in Little Rock, Arkansas. Today chapter members dropped off fifty-four boxes of cereal our chapter members collected. It was wonderful to have Daniel, Arkansas Food Bank Staff, greet us today and take a picture with us.

Little Rock-Centennial Chapter members were thrilled to visit the Voluntary Services Office at Towbin Healthcare Center VA in North Little Rock, Arkansas to donate eighty face masks made by our chapter members. Our chapter also donated one sewing machine to the Sew With Veterans program at the VA. Veterans use the sewing machines to make face masks.

It was an honor to be with Arkansas State Regent Junelle Mongno as she donated a sewing machine from ASDAR. Thank you to our Chapter members for their commitment and dedication in Today’s DAR!
