Welcome Letter from Delaware State Society NSDAR
It is with great pride and heartfelt enthusiasm that I welcome you to the Foxwell Administration of the Delaware Society, Daughters of the American Revolution. Together, we begin an exciting new chapter as we prepare to commemorate the 250th birthday of the United States of America. The Delaware State Society, Daughters of the
American Revolution. We are part of the National Society DAR, the largest and most active lineage-based service organization in the country, with over 180,000 members representing a wide range of backgrounds and experiences.
Guided by the theme, “First in Freedom, United in Service,” we will continue to uphold our mission by dedicating our time and talents to Education,Historic Preservation, and Patriotism. These enduring pillars remain at the heart of our work, and I am confident that the Delaware Daughters will meet this historic moment with the same passion, grace, and unwavering commitment that have long defined our Society.
During my administration, I am proud to support a special state project in partnership with Friends of the Fallen at Dover Air Force Base, helping raise funds for much-needed facility upgrades. This initiative reflects our deep commitment to honoring those who have served and sacrificed for our nation.
If you are interested in family genealogy or seeking a meaningful way to serve your community, we warmly invite you to connect with one of our seven vibrant chapters across the state. Delaware may be small in size, but our members are deeply engaged, active, and dedicated to making a difference.
I also invite you to follow us on social media to see the many inspiring ways our members are living out the DAR mission every day.
Together, as Delaware Daughters, we join with chapters across the nation to promote the mission of this remarkable organization and illuminate in service to America. Just as 1 Peter 4:10 states “Each of you should use whatever gift you have received to serve others, as faithful stewards of God’s grace in its various forms.”
In DAR Service,
Carolynn Foxwell
