​Capture the Spirit of NSDAR
 
Service to others focusing on
Historic Preservation      Education     Patriotism
Why should you join the Twickenham Town Chapter of NSDAR?  Perhaps you wish to keep a family tradition. Or maybe you heard about the accomplishments of our organization. It is my hope that you enthusiastically join us to be a part of the True Spirit of NSDAR.  

Since 1908, the members of the Twickenham Town Chapter, NSDAR, have honored the Spirit through a shared sense of purpose and pride by giving our time, energy, and talents, and by volunteering locally and nationally to foster historic preservation, education, and patriotism. I urge you to join us to embody NSDAR Spirit through the wide range of opportunities for service to our community, state, and country.
 
There are all kinds of “spirit” connected to NSDAR. We can “keep the spirit,” “explore the spirit,” “volunteer in the spirit,” “pass on the spirit,” and “be active in the spirit.”  Join us to capture Your Spirit. 

With us, you have the opportunity to honor deserving students at seventeen elementary and middle schools and eight high schools in Huntsville and Madison County through essay contests and good citizenship programs. You might find working with students at the Kate Duncan School exciting, fun, and rewarding. KDS, in nearby Gunter Moutain, is one of two NSDAR schools in the country. Or get involved at Martin Luther King Elementary School in Huntsville.  

Perhaps your spirit gravitates to patriotism.  Show your patriotism in our Service to Veterans projects and activities to recognize the contributions of the women and men in our armed forces. Christmas cards, refreshments, Veterans Day programs, Wreaths Across America, Poppy Day, Flag Day, Bells Across America, and Constitution Week are activities honoring our patriots.  

To begin our historic preservation this fall, the Twickenham Town Chapter, NSDAR, will honor the contributions of Huntsville pioneer suffragists with the dedication of a historical marker. We also have worked to preserve gravestones in historic African-American Glenwood Cemetery. Some of us create authentic Revolutionary War-era clothing and share historical experiences with others. What would you like to preserve? Bring your ideas and spirit to us and we will make a difference together.
 
Join me as we Capture the Spirit of NSDAR!
