Chapter News

Long Island DAR chapters celebrate Veterans Day with an annual luncheon, where our Anna Smith Strong Chapter organized a Thanksgiving Food Drive in support of our Suffolk County United Veteran’s Shelter.

We celebrated our Tenth Annual Afternoon Tea, honoring Nancy W. Zwetsch – New York State Regent.

Our Service Dog, Anna, graduated and will be a breeder dog. I’m looking forward to Anna’s puppies helping our Veterans.
