Awards

Members of the Sarah Riggs Humphreys-Mary Silliman Chapter are active in the community in many ways.  Some of our members work with our local high schools in support of the DAR Good Citizens Awards and Essay contests.  Other members are more active in preserving important historical documents.  Still others are involved with local VA Hospitals, VFWs, and American Legions to assist where ever, however needed.

Regardless of our individual interests, we have all come together and developed lifelong friendships, with a common goal: to promote the ideals of patriotism and to love our country.

Sarah Riggs Humphries-Mary Silliman Chapter is honored by the Derby Historical Society
