Please consider the opportunities for recognition by your chapter of a person in your community who has done extraordinary work in historic preservation.  The Historic Preservation Medal awaits your candidate!  Read all about the award on the National Historic Preservation Committee site at http://members.dar.org/committees/histpres/index.htm

We also have the Historic Preservation Project Contest open to chapters that have a project involving historic preservation of a variety of types.  An application must be submitted to this chairman no later than February 12, 2013 via mail or e-mail.  Application and information about this contest, and some great ideas for projects you might want to emulate, please go to the National Historic Preservation Committee web page.
