Dear Chapter Regents and Chapter Program Chairmen:
While planning your programs for the coming year, please remember that we have a
wonderful ASDAR Speakers Staff. These Daughters are waiting to serve.
Please remember when these ladies agree to do a program for your chapter and have to
travel very far, it is appropriate to offer them a place to stay and a meal. Gifts to them are not
appropriate or expected, but you can give them an honorarium to a state or national DAR fund.
They have many exciting, educational and fun programs they would like to share. Below
is a list of the programs the Speakers Staff members present. For details please contact the
individual member.
