The National Soci- ety Daughters of the American Revolu- tion was founded on Oct. 11, 1890, with the mission of promoting historic preser- vation, education and patrio- tism. These objectives have created the foundation of our organization and have kept us resilient through the years.

The Aloha Chapter cele- brated its 125th anniversary on March 5. As part of its commemoration, vice regent Christine Domhoff and I cre- ated a book honoring the past chapter regents and signifi- cant events during their ad- ministration. Gov. David Ige and Mayor Rick Blangiardi, proclaimed March 5, 2022, as “Aloha Chapter – Nation- al Society Daughters of the American Revolution Day.” A “Find A Grave Virtual Wall” for the Aloha Chap- ter was created by Lynda Hylander, the previous Alo- ha Chapter regent, with the assistance from myself and Domhoff.
From the beginning, the Aloha Chapter provided ma- jor contributions as part of
