WELCOME TO OUR WEBSITE
Casa Grande Valley Chapter members welcome you to our website. We meet on the first Saturday of the month between September and May in Casa Grande, Arizona. Contact Joyce Wold, regent, for information on chapter meetings and Ellen Lynn for information on membership.
Our members are dedicated to the goals and objectives of the National Society. Our members work hard in the areas of DAR contests. If you click on the links, you can learn more about the work of these committees: DAR Good Citizens, DAR Scholarships, Arizona Outstanding Special Education teacher and American History Teacher, DAR Project Patriot, DAR Service For Veterans, and many more. Our members participate in many community events such as the Memorial Day ceremonies and Veterans Day parade.
The Casa Grande Valley Chapter DAR began when Marion Lerzo moved to Casa Grande in 1980. She inquired about the nearest chapter and it was suggested that she start a chapter with two other DAR members, Nancy Wofford and Letatia Passmore who also lived in Casa Grande. Their first organizational meeting was held May 13, 1980.
The name Casa Grande Valley was chosen because it described where we were located, and the Casa Grande Ruins represented a very historical part of our area. The members later adopted the image of the Casa Grande Ruins as a chapter logo.
On May 13, 1980 an organizational meeting was held in the Sky Lounge at Francisco Grande Resort Hotel. Organizing members were Mrs. Marion Lerzo, Mrs. Walter Averill, Mrs. Vesta Diveley, Mrs. Mary Daugherty, Mrs. Lucile Gilbert, Mrs. Inez Hewes, Mrs. Leora Howell, Mrs. Barbara Jackson, Mrs. Ruth Norris, Mrs. Patricia Middleton, Mrs. Letatia Passmore, Mrs. Michele Smith and Mrs. Nancy Wofford.
We would love for you to attend a meeting and learn about the work of the Daughters of the American Revolution. Please contact us soon!
