We are honored that you are interested in the DAR, and in the Santa Margarita Chapter in particular. Santa Margarita Chapter Daughters actively seek new members and opportunities to promote DAR objectives in our community.

The Santa Margarita Chapter DAR, organized in 1929, is a non-profit, non-political, volunteer service organization. Membership in the DAR provides many opportunities to cherish our American heritage of freedom, to preserve family and local histories, to promote celebration of our national holidays, to live patriotically, to support our national defense, to enjoy our beautiful member-owned buildings in Washington, DC, and Glendora, California, and to form friendships with others who share our love of God, Home, and Country.



 

Chapter Theme:

One in Spirit and Purpose.


NSDAR Motto:

God, Home and Country

 


"Then make my joy complete by being like-minded, having the same love, being one in spirit and purpose.

Each of you should look not only to your own interests, but also to the interests of others."

Philippians 2:2-4 (New International Version)
