I hope that everyone that has an interest in the DAR will visit the National
Society Web page and get the correct facts.  You do not have to visit twice/
you do not join a chapter before you join the Society.  Everyone has an
answer and most are wrong.

If you want the facts why not go directly to the National Society of the
Daughter of the American Revolution?  They have made it easy to learn the
correct facts with their web page.       http://www.dar.org

I just wanted to add a clarification to DAR membership -- you must be
invited

you
