D A R Money Memorial Hall Drive Reaches Fifteenth Anniversary
The fifteenth anniversary of the National Society of the Daughters of the American Revolution marks a special day for contributions to Memorial Continental Hall. Mrs. Donald McLean reports over $1,000 subscribed with expectations of much more as chapters vie to fund the $275,000 still needed after $175,000 already spent. The project, described as a national patriotic monument, aims to complete construction with early donations, while the president general tours state conferences to boost support and anticipates a new contract for further work if funds align.
