The program is the Sons of the American Revolution (S.A.R.) founded in 1889, which is a historical, educational and patriotic male lineage society. They seek to maintain and expand the meaning of the ideals of our founding fathers and respect for our national symbols. They present classroom programs with their Patriotic Chest which features items representing our 18th century founding.
The primary presenter is David Devin, the Treasurer of the Republic Chapter S.A.R. and current Vice President of the Oregon Society S.A.R. He has been a member of the S.A.R. since 2008. He has been interested in genealogy since the 1980's, which led him to an ancestor who served in the merican Revolutionary War.
The other presenter is Mark Stevens, the current President of the Republic Chapter S.A.R. and the Color Guard Commander of the Oregon S.A.R. and the Sons of Union Veterans in Oregon. He is a retired fire fighter with a strong interest in military history.
Our meetings and programs are always open to members and the public. We hope to see everyone there.
