Adele Lancaster and honorary chapter regent, Wanda Prosser, shared the history of the chapter from its inception, approval for confirmation at the national level, achievements, and community service over the past 90 years.

Regent Boodry reported that “we are growing, giving, and working for a variety of causes – supporting our state regent’s project of supplying aid to the Gary Sinise Foundation; aiding deployed servicemen and women, education of children in our local Community Classroom and the DAR sponsored schools in rural America; conservation by supplying funds to repopulate our ravaged forests. We are always open to new possibilities for helping those less fortunate and our veterans. The list goes on and the future looks bright for the Santa Margarita Chapter. We are rising and shining and making a difference for God, Home and Country.
