DAR Depends on Active Junior Members
|
Junior Members are chapter members aged eighteen through thirty-five (until their thirty-sixth birthday). Junior Members enjoy full privileges and rights of membership and are eligible for any chapter, state, or national office. In Nebraska, the Loup Trail Chapter was founded in 1975 by eleven Junior Members. In 1982, Fort Sidney Chapter was featured in the Daughters of the American Revolution magazine with a photograph taken at the Fort Sidney Museum, which pictured eight Junior Members who helped organize the chapter. Junior Members are the heart of our organization!
