This summer has flown by, but for the conference committee I know they would like time to slow as our countdown to our first (and hopefully only) virtual state conference is just around the corner. I just can’t say enough wonderful things about the conference team, that has been meeting […]

During the Reynolds Administration, Emily Robinson and I began the plans for our celebration of Tennessee’s Role in the passage of the 19th Amendment at the Hermitage Hotel. Due to Covid-19 and the new government guidelines for Nashville we will be making changes to those plans to bring the celebration […]
It’s here! I am so excited to be able to finally share Season and Taste with you. Several years ago I posted a photo of an apple stack cake on Facebook, as I attempted to prep for Christmas week. This old, hardly known cake recipe was an oddity, and most […]
1776 – The birth of our nation began that year with the Declaration of Independence. While the Continental Congress voted on July 2 for the resolution for independence, it was July 4, the day they formally adopted the Declaration that we hold for our celebration. Of all of the holidays […]
I hope that you enjoyed the our Virtual DAR Congress this past week. From the first “flag drop” until the final gavel, it felt like Congress – just from home. While not the Congress we were all used to (hello no end of the day tired feet), it still gave […]
What a wonderful few days it has been to enjoy the festivities of our 129th Virtual Congress from the comfort of our own homes. I know my feet have never felt so good after a long day of meetings and business sessions. The Tennessee Daughters certainly know how to Rise […]

It has been a pleasure the last few years to host our youth award and scholarship winners at our state capitol in the historic Tennessee General Assembly’s House Chamber on Statehood Day. June 1, 1796, Tennessee officially became the 16th state in the Union, but Nashville didn’t become the state […]
What an unusual few months it has been; certainly not what I expected for the first year of the Wimberley Administration. However, I have been so thrilled to see how are chapters are rising to the occasion during this time of crisis. From chapters that have placed and removed flags […]
Memorial Day is one of those holidays that for some has lost its real purpose and meaning. While many of our friends and neighbors have forgotten why we have a day off from work, DAR daughters do remember the importance of the day and why it is a national holiday […]
Today’s blog is guest written by TSDAR State First Vice Regent and Awards Chair Emily Robinson. As a chapter regent there isn’t anything more exciting than learning your chapter has won an award for the work your members have done in their communities and state. We are happy to be […]
