The Lakota Chapter of DAR recently hosted its 37th annual Recognition and Award program at Valley Christian School.

The nonprofit organization also honored City Council member Bill Peloza with the DAR Patriotism Award.

The Daughters of the American Revolution is an organization with a deeply rich history while also being truly relevant in today’s world. More than 930,000 women have joined the organization since it was founded close to 125 years ago.
