Elizabeth Snyder-Continental Chapter DAR 130th Anniversary & Winter Meeting

Chapter members, prospective members, family and friends are invited to celebrate Elizabeth Snyder-Continental Chapter’s 130th Anniversary on Saturday, January 24, noon to 2 p.m. at Bruno’s Bistro in Warren.

Continental Chapter was organized on January 23, 1896, in Plainfield as New Jersey’s 14th chapter of the Daughters of the American Revolution (DAR). The name honors the New Jersey Line and the regiments that included New Jersey’s enlistments in the Continental Army. In 2002, the chapter merged with Elizabeth Snyder Chapter. In 2022, the group was designated a Lantern Chapter by the DAR for spreading the light of the organization to promote education, historic preservation and patriotic endeavor.

The Anniversary luncheon will feature a guest speaker and a brief business session to kick off the new year and the coming semiquincentennial.

The DAR is a nonpolitical, nonprofit, service organization open to women 18 and over who are descended from a man or woman who aided the cause of independence during the American Revolution. Headquartered in Green Brook, the chapter serves areas of Somerset, Middlesex and Union counties. New members are welcome. Contact the chapter at ESCchapterDAR@gmail.com.
