Chapter Projects
Our members are passionate about Patriotism, Education, and Historic Preservation.
The support of our associate members collectively has made an incredible difference in the choices we have to help in our communities and NSDAR. Each associate member of the New Caledonia Chapter, NSDAR, contributes to our members' ability to continue to provide community service. Our repeated thanks to our associate members and Daughters everywhere: working together, supporting each other, and making a difference.
Members of the Col. Thomas Hughart Chapter, NSDAR, in Virginia hosted a ceremony to honor Patriot Robert McCormick, the Patriot of one of our chapter members.
We sponsor Sunday Socials at the George Derby Centre, a residential care centre for Veterans.
