DAR Vesuvius Furnace Chapter

Chapter member Lisa Pupkiewicz was given the Lydia Darraugh award from the Catawba Valley SAR chapter today at the battle of Ramsour’s Mill anniversary.

Today’s chapter workday included assembling 30 blessing bags for Lincoln County Coalition Against Domestic Violence - Amy's House and 600+ Constitution Week Kits for 4th graders in Lincoln County and Mount Holly. Many hands make light & quick work! (Preplanning by Committee Chairs Jessica & Nee’ definitely greatly helps!!). Thank you daughters!

Happy Mec Dec Day ! On this day in 1776 The founding fathers of Charlotte gathered and officially declared Independence from British rule . Known as The Mecklenburg Declaration of Independence and was carried by horseback to Philadelphia . So if anyone is curious about why The date May 20, 1776 is on our State Flag. It is a point of pride. Though often disputed there remains much supporting evidence. So Huzzah!!!🇺🇸

A PRAYER FOR OUR ARMED FORCES

Heavenly Father, we commend to Your gracious care and keeping all the men and women in our Armed Forces at home and abroad.

Defend them day by day with Your heavenly grace; strengthen them in their trials and temptations; give them courage to face the perils that beset them; and, help them to know that none can pluck out of Your hand those who put their trust in You.

We ask in Your Holy Name. Amen.
