"The General William Campbell Chapter" 

     The General William Campbell Chapter celebrated its 80th anniversary on Dec. 13, 2003.  The first Chapter meeting was held on Dec. 13, 1923.  Today, we have a membership of 30 with one Junior member.  A Junior member is a DAR member who is under the age of 36 years.  She has the same responsibilities and privileges as a regular member.  Junior members are women who may be attending college, women with careers or women with young families.  Junior members are the future of the DAR and each is given much encouragement and support.  The General William Campbell Chapter is an active Chapter and although we are small,  we are growing.

     Our monthly meetings are informative and are a way to celebrate our rich heritage through camaraderie.  Meetings are held every 3rd Saturday during the months of September thru May.
