Volunteer Committees

Member Committees

 The National Society accomplishes the majority of its work under a committee system. The President General appoints a national chairman for each of the NSDAR committees. The national chairman then directs and supervises the activities of her committee, national vice chairmen, state chairmen, and chapter chairmen. 

Members act individually, as a chapter, a district or support state or national committee activities in serving DAR missions and objectives. 

Honoring your patriot with your membership is the only requirement.  

The majority of our members are within driving distance of Canandaigua proper. However we have members from Washington State to Florida, as these members either summer here, are from here and/or want to honor their local Revolutionary Patriot. 

Every year DAR members provide millions of hours of service to their communities and nation. Each chapter may not participate in the same service activities. As a chapter we work together to support as many individual ideas, projects and preferences.  There is literally something for everyone, sewing, quilting, singing, supporting current enlisted military personnel, schools, classrooms, the homeless, other non for profits and so much more!
