The General Andrew Lewis Chapter of National Society Daughters of the American Revolution met for a Dutch-treat luncheon at Cook’s private dining room on Nov. 21. The meeting was to honor the club on the 70th anniversary of the club being founded. The club was organized Oct. 1, 1954, and the first Regent was Mrs. William Phelps.
Prior to the meeting, Regent Suzanne Cronquist and Vice Regent Judy Deegans visited with Sally Ford who has been a DAR member for 73 years. Her reminiscences were shared with the club at the luncheon.
A silent auction was held to raise funds to help the club honor the 250th anniversary of our country. Each member brought something to be auctioned and it was a fun event.
