Ann Washington Chapter, NSDAR

Participating in parades is a part of the patriotism fun in the chapter. How special is this 1930 Model A Ford with its rumble seat?

Some of the chapter's Earth Day Cleanup Crew is an example of the chapter's community service.

The chapter's float appears in Independence Day and Veterans Day parades in Skagit County.

As part of DAR's mission historic preservation, the chapter is helping to restore an 1891 schoolhouse in Skagit County.

Ann Washington's regent was presented the Washington State Society DAR Inspirational Award as Washington State's Outstanding Chapter Regent of the Year.

Ann Washington is honored that Washington State's Volunteer Genealogist of 2025 Shelley Johnson is the state registrar 2026-28 who tirelessly researches Patriot ancestors for prospective members.

The chapter collects and properly retires flags, often replacing them at no charge.

We make learning fun. For example: A. "Jeopardy-style categories on this board." Q. "What are Historic Preservation, Patriotism, Education, DAR's core missions?"

Chapter members collect personal care and other items for veterans and twice yearly work at a stand down to distribute them.

Teaching area students about the only woman whose name is on the Declaration of Independence is one of many ways the chapter helps students. Let us know if you'd like for us to speak at a school or other organization. We have speakers on a variety of subjects and they're all interesting, interactive, and fun.

 Promoting historic preservation, education and patriotism
 with fun and friendship.

Our active members  hail from all over the Northwest including British Columbia. We also have members from out of state and out of the area within Washington State.

Our active members range from ages 18 to 99, and every decade in between as there is something each age group enjoys.  They come from a variety of backgrounds and interests having grown up all over the U.S. and some from all over the world as military families. They are passionate about community service, preserving history, educating youth, and honoring and supporting those who have served and are serving our nation.
