Tennessee Society,

NSDAR

The Tennessee Society DAR focuses on working towards our goals of historic preservation, education, and patriotism. Our members document, restore, and mark Revolutionary War Patriot gravesites and help maintain cemeteries across the state. Educating our youth is a priority, and we support students through scholarships, essay contests, and awards. We show our patriotic spirit by volunteering many hours to veterans, supporting America’s military through care packages, and participating in naturalization ceremonies.

These are just a few of the ways that engage in our communities. I encourage you to see what your local chapters are doing and join us as put our volunteer hearts in action!

CONGRATULATIONS to the two #TNSocietyDAR 2025 Outstanding Chapter Regents, Pamela Wood and Rachel McKinley! ❤️Pamela Wood, Regent of the Rock House Chapter received this award in the category of chapters with 12-75 members. As regent, Pamela breathed new life into her chapter by reorganizing chapter meetings, creating a newsletter, and engaging members. As a result, the chapter increased membership by an impressive 31%! The Rock House Chapter worked hard maintaining and preserving the Rock House State Historic Site and preserved all of the chapter records at the White County Archives. Pamela led the chapter in planning and organizing Constitution Bell Ringing ceremonies in the Sequoyah District, placing flags on veterans’ graves, and donating books to schools and libraries. Rachel McKinley, Regent of the Sarah Polk Chapter, received this award in the category of chapters with 76 members and above. The Sarah Polk Chapter sponsored the Buchanan Logan Cabin for a TSDAR Museum Grant, and in additions to funding two educational panels, members cleaned the property and scrubbed headstones. As regent, Rachel led her chapter in hosting a Deceased Vietnam Veteran’s Surviving Spouse ceremony recognizing three women who were treated to dinner and presented with a commemoration pin. Rachel streamlined chapter leadership and responsibilities, simplified information distribution with MailerLite, and presided over all chapter meetings, driving almost 2 hours each way from her home Huntsville, Alabama. Pamela and Rachel have truly put their #VolunteerHeartsinAction as Chapter Regents, and we are so proud of them! ❤️#TodaysDAR #StarsandStripesForever #TodaysDaughters #communityservice ...
