Monserate Chapter DAR to hold luncheon Aug. 24

FALLBROOK – The National Society Daughters of the American Revolution (NSDAR) begins its 46th year in Fallbrook this October. However, the Monserate Chapter DAR members in the rolling hills of Fallbrook, Temecula, Murrieta, Hemet and Bonsall have scheduled a summertime luncheon that the public is invited to attend.

The luncheon will be held Thursday, Aug. 24 at The Temecula Creek Inn (44501 Rainbow Canyon Rd., Temecula) on the Cork Fire Kitchen patio, a lovely location with great views. Attendees will be seated at noon and are welcome to arrive earlier.

Regent Dawn Byrd Beresovoy encourages those interested in membership in the DAR to attend as well as prospective members, current members, and family members. This event is a 'no-host' luncheon, however, so please contact the Regent by Aug. 22 via email at [email protected] if you would like to attend.

With 80 members on the Monserate Chapter's roster, a renewed push to encourage new membership began in 2016. DAR is a lineage organization; members must prove direct familial lineage to an American colonist who fought in the Revolutionary War or who gave supplies and food to the troops of that war.

If you believe that you may be directly related to a "patriot" and would like to pursue membership in the NSDAR, then the members of Monserate DAR would like to meet with you. The current DAR organization is made up of volunteers who support the needs of all the veterans who fought in wars involving the United States.

Monserate Chapter supports the national commitments to education, patriotism, and historic preservation, and meets monthly at Pala Mesa Resort in Fallbrook.

Last year, the Chapter encouraged knowledge of American history through its donations to schools, including copies of the American Constitution, and of the 100th year celebration of the National Park Service through its essay contest. Monserate Chapter also donated needed office supplies to the newly-formed JROTC at Fallbrook High School.
