Our members are actively involved in the Veterans Center in Ardmore, spending time with the veterans on their birthdays, sending cards, and assisting with their Bingo games. 

The Ardmore Chapter supports the DAR schools and the DAR scholarship program and is proud of our sponsorship of numerous state scholarship winners. 

In 2009 the first chapter scholarship, “Educating Patriots of the Future”

was awarded to a local student. 

Members honor local citizens with the Community Awards.  Chapter members are genealogy consultants, present the history of our flag and flag etiquette programs, and create bulletin boards and displays for our Community Education Project.  We have sought and received grant funds to purchase American History books for several local area schools. 

In 2009 the chapter was awarded the prestigious Tuskhoma Brown Miller award for Human and Civil Rights by the Oklahoma Education Association.  Operation Iraqi Freedom statuette was presented to the chapter from the 1245  Transportation Company of the Oklahoma National Guard. The chapter partners with other organizations to promote historic preservation, education, and patriotism. 

Over the years, chapter members have served as officers and committee chairmen at both the state and national levels of NSDAR.

The Ardmore Chapter currently has 158 members, several pending members, and twelve associate members. The growth and vitality of the chapter has been recognized by the National DAR offices with awards for Public Relations, National DAR Speakers Staff, 1st Place in the Nation—2007 Membership Photo Contest, American Indians Report, American Heritage Report; and “Outstanding Original Programs” that are made available for use by chapters across the nation.  

Chapter members live across our nation. 

Junior members are mentored to become informed and active as

patriotic citizens by the “seasoned” members.
