“The Spirit of Hospitality Opens Doors of Opportunity.”
Let's help this spirit spread throughout our Society with chapters welcoming new members, encouraging
inactive members, and expressing appreciation to those who have been steadfast in their service.
May this welcoming spirit open doors of opportunity as we continue our mission of promoting historic preservation,
education and patriotism.
The Umpqua Chapter sponsors a History Essay Contest for all 5th and 8th grade students.
We host a Lady Veteran's Luncheon each
April, honoring women who have served in
our Armed Forces.
We are active in supporting our Veteran's
Centers by collecting stamps,
keeping the entrance garden clean
and planted
at our local VA Center
and we participating in the local
Veteran's Day Parade.
We collect Campbell's labels for
Chemawa Indian School
as well as Box Tops for Education.

Welcome to the Umpqua Chapter of the Daughters of the American Revolution. Umpqua Chapter was organized
on
the evening of March 7, 1918, in the parlors of the
Presbyterian Church of Roseburg, Oregon, by Mrs. William Smick, Organizing Regent and Mrs. I.L. Patterson,
State Regent. Umpqua Chapter was the 10th chapter organized
in the State of Oregon.
We meet at noon on the second Saturday
of each month from Sep to May.
If you are at all interested in your heritage,

The objectives of DAR are Historic Preservation, Promotion of Education and Patriotic Endeavor. We try to fulfill
these objectives in our monthly meetings and other activities. We participate in community events, support our youth, work
with and visit our Veteran's Hospital, promote adult literacy and preserve genealogical records to help perpetuate the memory
of the spirit of the men and women who achieved American Independence. Our goal is to cherish, maintain and extend the
institutions of our Country and to aid in securing the blessings of Liberty for mankind.
