Indroducing the newest members of Fort du Rocher, Chapter NSDAR 2020-2021
On May 1,2021, The Fort du Rocher Chapter, NSDAR held the installation of officers ceremony at Mendota Lake.
A few of the daughters fulfilled our chapter’s most recent service project at Freedom House in Princeton, Illinois. The group delivered gently used purses, donated by our chapter members, filled with items needed by women seeking shelter.
It was our honor to support such worthwhile project.
The project was posted by Freedom House on their Facebook page on December 2, 2020.
Chapter members, HODARS, and family worked on the chapter service project Friday, October 16,2020. This years project focused on improving the grounds at the VA home in LaSalle, Illinois. Together the team worked diligently with fall clean-up, landscaping, and the planting nine new bushes that will bloom continuously from Spring through the Fall. Our chapter extents many thanks for the time and expertise of FloraStarts LLC.
