◊ Chapter Activities

     The Abigail Phelps Chapter is very active in the community. The goals of the DAR are historic preservation, education, and patriotism. We have given thousands of dollars in scholarships to area students. We sponsor the American History Essay Contest for elementary school students. We present the DAR Good Citizen Awards to worthy students in local high schools. We support the ROTC program in neighboring Bloomfield, Connecticut. We provide flags at no cost to non-profit organizations within our community. We present the Community Service Award to men and women who have given generously of their time and talent to improve life in our community. We donate books of historical and genealogical significance to area libraries and especially to the DAR's National library in Washington, D. C.
