Chapter Activities

Anne Loucks Chapter, NSDAR, has 149 members. Our members are dedicated sponsors of the American History Essay contest for students of the sixth, seventh, and eighth grades, and the DAR Good Citizens, which are high school seniors selected by their principals, senior counselors, and peers from Diablo and San Ramon Valley schools are honored during February of each year. These recipients are young people who exhibit leadership, dependability, service, and patriotism in their daily lives.

DAR Good Citizens Award

Our chapter is proud to sponsor the DAR Good Citizens Award, open to all high school seniors whose personal, scholastic, and volunteer records demonstrate the qualities of good citizenship. These fine young men and women are nominated and selected by their schools for their outstanding efforts, which reflect dependability, service, leadership, and patriotism. We are proud of our community's young adults!

Wreaths Across America Ceremonies

Our chapter actively supports this recognition of veterans during the holiday season. Wreaths are purchased and placed at a local cemetery on the third Saturday in December. You are also invited to attend one of the wreath placement ceremonies which will occur in every national cemetery at noon eastern standard time (EST)/9:00 a.m. pacific standard time (PST). December weather conditions at cemeteries are variable. If you plan to attend, be sure to dress warmly, wear sensible shoes, and bring an umbrella.
