The America 250! and Wreaths Across America committees along with State Regent Susan Broderick are excited to announce plans to develop the “CSSDAR Grove Within the Grove” on Tip Land in Maine. As usual, California will lead the way for the other State Societies to do the same, as we kicked off this project at our 114th State Conference. Each chapter can adopt a tree in the California grove and have dog tags representing their Daughter’s Patriots, made and hung on that chapter’s tree. This is an exciting project that celebrates the 250th year of liberty and freedom in a very personal way.

This project is for any and all Patriot ancestors for any and all Daughters in your chapter. It does not include other family members after 1783!

Below are several links including the instructions, timeline, and a spreadsheet for collecting Patriot information. The due date is April 15, 2022 for the spreadsheet and May 15, 2022 for the payment.
