Members of the Falls of the Rappahannock Chapter, National Society Daughters of the American Revolution (DAR) gathered for their annual Day of Service last Saturday at the Howell Library in Stafford. This years’ service project included packing more than 500 bingo bags and creating nearly 200 Autism pin cards for a local non-profit, Cooking Autism. Cooking Autism gives back to the community by funding educational food programs in the region designed for children with neurological disorders, such as Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD). Their 2nd annual bingo fundraiser will be held on Friday, November 15, 2019 at Conway Elementary School.
The National Society Daughters of the American Revolution was founded in 1890 to promote historic preservation, education and patriotism.

With more than 177,000 members in approximately 3,000 chapters worldwide, DAR is one of the world’s largest and most active service organizations.
