In this special Legacy Trilogy Edition of the DAR Today Podcast, we celebrate the return of What Are Chapters Doing?, hosted by National Vice Chair, writer, and editor Haley Lancaster.

Haley’s debut segment shines a spotlight on the meaningful service of DAR chapters and members across the country, beginning with the Mall Hands on Deck Cleanup Project at the Tidal Basin in Washington, D.C. Ahead of Continental Congress, DAR volunteers will join together in service to help care for the iconic Japanese cherry blossom trees and the historic landscape surrounding the National Mall.

This episode highlights the power of conservation, civic engagement, and community partnership through the DAR Service to America Committee, DAR Conservation Committee, the National Park Service, and the Trust for the National Mall. It also celebrates the National Society’s Gift to the Nation donation during the Storage Administration, supporting the long-term preservation of the Cherry Tree Endowment.

As Daughters prepare to gather for Continental Congress, this episode reminds us that service is at the heart of who we are. From chapter projects to national efforts, DAR members continue to carry the torch, pass the flame, and illuminate our legacy through service, historic preservation, education, and patriotism.
