Elmhurst, IL - ​In April, Julia Morrissey was sworn in as the president of the Illinois Society Children of the American Revolution (ISCAR) at George Washington's home in Mt. Vernon, Virginia.

Each year the Society President selects a project for which to raise needed funds. Morrissey choose the Fisher House (www.hines.va.gov/fisherhouse) located on the campus of Hines VA Hospital in Hines, IL.
