Our Chapter

The Sallie Harrison Chapter has a long history of activities in support of the Florida State Society (FSSDAR) and National Society (NSDAR) Daughters of the American Revolution's objectives including: new and prospective member events; Constitution Week proclamations; military observances;  women’s issues discussions; commemorative events; donations to the DAR Library; and end of year memorial services.
  • The Annual Youth Awards Program honors the winners of essays for the DAR Good Citizens Award and the American History Essay Contest. 
  • Each year, chapter officers award medals and certificates to the outstanding JROTC students at the eight Seminole County high schools. The chapter supports the DAR schools, particularly Tamassee DAR School. We also contribute to the “Flags for the Classroom” fund for Seminole County Public Schools.
  • Daughters regularly participate in a range of veterans' projects aimed at helping make life a little easier for veterans by providing clothing items, books, and toiletries.
  • In 1999, a memorial plaque was placed at the grave of Elizabeth Starling, founding regent of the chapter.
  • In 2010, the chapter facilitated a Special Projects Grant for the Museum of Seminole County History.
  • A DAR Historic Preservation Grant was sponsored by the chapter in 2019. In June, 2020, $5000 was awarded to help restore part of the Nygren Buggy Collection which is located at the Museum of  Seminole County History. 
As the chapter continues to grow, Daughters proudly support the mission of the NSDAR for historic preservation, education, and patriotism.
Chapter events and activities, such as Sanford's Memorial Day parade, provide opportunities for members to support our Seminole County community.
