The first ever virtual meeting of the Mt. Diablo Chapter from Danville was a success. Thirty-two members joined the meeting via Zoom on September 8, 2020. For many members it was the first time venturing into the land of Zoom.

With COVID-19 restrictions, this meeting was the first opportunity for the chapter to install their new board. Diane McLean, District IV Director, presided over the installation of the new officers as follows: Regent Kate Hare, 1st Vice-Regent Janiece Nolan, 2nd Vice-Regent Yvonne Beadle, Treasurer Janet O’Connell-Mangham, Recording Secretary Denise Lytle-Bray, Corresponding Secretary Pamela McDonald, Registrar Virginia Rood, Chaplin Valerie Jo Remley, Historian Sharlene Rednour, Librarian Debbie Vandenbroek, and Parliamentarian Barbara Beratta.

Our chapter welcomed seven new members: Charlene Dobson, Cheryl Dobson, Beverly Erwin, Lola Ganse, Donalda “Dee” Logan, Jennifer Rizzo and Nancy Snider. Chaplain Valerie Jo Remley gave the oath of membership to those in attendance.

The Daughters are excited about the new term, with plans in the works for National Day of Service, DAR Good Citizens and a fund raising tea in the spring, to name a few.
