William Mclntosh Chapter, DAR
Holds Founders Day Luncheon
By Beth Hearn
Meeting at 12:30 noon
Saturday, May 21st, in the
Chapter Club House, the
William Mclntosh Chapter
NSDAR enjoyed another of
its festive Founders Day
luncheons, which have be
come an annual observance.
Invocation was offered by
the Chaplain, Mrs. Edith
Echols, and the favored
delicacies from the indivi
dual covered dishes added
zest to a period of fellowship
and shared memoirs of the
past, of commemorating the
contributing factors of our
beloved Founders whose
vision and action brought
into focus the effective
service of this chapter, as a
functioning body of the
National Society Daughters
American Revolution, which
makes this informal lun
cheon a very special occa
sion.
In presiding for a short
business session following
the meal, the Regent, Mrs.
Annadawn Edwards, opened
with the DAR Ritual led by
the chaplain, Mrs. Edith
Echols, including the Pledge
to the Flag, the American’s
Creed, and a prayer of
gratitude for our Founders.
The Regent recognized the
special guests for the day,
two out-of-town members,
Mrs. Florrie Harp Edwards
of Decatur, Mrs. Ann Biles
Pope of Athens, and Jack
son’s own Miss Mary
Newton.
The president General’s
message, read by Mrs.
Evelyn Nix, reviewed the
efforts and accomplishments
of this, the Bicentennial
Administration, as one exe
cuted under difficult circum
stances, but marked by
cooperation and dedication of
purpose by its members, and
gratitude was expressed fo
the complete support given in
attaining its many accom
plishments.
The Defense chairman
briefly reviewed the articles
covered by our National
Defense Chairman, Mrs.
Lawrence Andrus, appearing
monthly in the DAR Maga
zine, specifically the “Bill of
Rights” as it is being
challenged, and others refer
ring to the greatest document
of government recorded and
put into effect by mankind,
our own Constitution of the
United States of America. It
is the duty of every
concerned citizen to become
aware of subversive dangers
that can threaten our
Republican System of Go
vernment.
Minutes of the April
meeting were read by the
secretary, Mrs. Elizabeth S.
O’Neal and given approval.
Members were reminded
to continue in our plans for
opening the Chapter Club
House for an Arts and Crafts
Exhibit on the day of
activities for the celebration
of the Fourth.
The Regent expressed
thanks and congratulations
to the very efficient commit
tees, who had functioned in
such a manner that the day’s
programming had been so
very effective, and the
sharing noteworthy. Mem
bers were urged to take note
of the display table which
included a beautifully de
signed arrangement of the
historic etchings donated
earlier by Mrs. Loma
Redman. The artistic ar
rangement within the recent
ly purchased binding was to
be credited to Gale Synder
whose planning had added to
the historic value of these
“Ancient Landmarks” so
treasured by Americans,
now to become a valued
addition to our DAR Library.
Displaying the coveted
Gold Honor Roll Certificate,
the chapter had earned for
the years’ accomplishments,
which had been framed and
would take its place on the
wall with others earned over
the years by the Chapter, the
Regent reminded all mem
bers to be vigilant toward the
summer packet soon to
arrive, outlining the years
goals for achieving, that
another Honor Roll award
may be earned in the coming
year.
