Chapter Activities and Projects
The La Cuesta Chapter, NSDAR, invites you to attend a chapter social, meeting, event, or activity. The mission of the National Society Daughters of the American Revolution is to promote HISTORIC PRESERVATION, EDUCATION, and PATRIOTISM. DAR is one of the world's largest and most active service organizations. Most volunteer work for the Daughters of the American Revolution is accomplished through a committee system. Committees not only make our chapter successful, they are truly the best way for Daughters to have an opportunity to get to know the other chapter members, contribute to the DAR and the community.
