As we enter this new year, I want to thank all of you for your service to our chapter and to the community. I hope all of you have been recording your hours on the DAR.org website. If you still have activities to record, you are in luck – the deadline to record hours for 2018 has been extended until January 31st. Remember that those hours include time spent on DAR-related activities such as genealogy research, Good Citizens scholarships, conservation work, veterans work and community service awards. It also includes officers’ board meetings, planning and execution of DAR programs and other DAR work within the chapter.
You’ll want to attend our next chapter meeting on Saturday, January 12. Our speaker will be Lois Youngen, emeritus professor at the University of Oregon, who played from 1951 through 1954 in the All-American Girls Professional Baseball League. She played for the Kenosha Comets, Fort Wayne Daisies and South Bend Blue Sox. Once the league disbanded in 1954, Youngen played one year for a national touring team known as the All-Americans. She joined the UO staff in 1960.
