ARGYLE — The Colonel Benjamin Harrison Chapter of the Daughters of the American Revolution (DAR) met on April 12 at The Corner Pub and Deli in Argyle for lunch and to celebrate this year’s Good Citizen Honorees.

All of these senior high school students were awarded the Daughters of the American Revolution (DAR) Good Citizen Award as their school’s outstanding example of the qualities of a good citizen — dependability, service, leadership, and patriotism. Additionally, some of them submitted for the DAR Scholarship competition. The winner was Carly Bowden. Her materials were forwarded to the Wisconsin state level. 

The next outing will be held on May 21 at Greenwood Cemetery in Monroe. As a service project for the chapter, DAR will clean gravestones of deceased DAR members. Volunteers can bring buckets and jugs for transporting water, soft bristle brushes, wood paint stirrers to scrape large areas of lichen and moss off stones, rags, sponges and toothbrushes and toothpicks also come in handy. Everyone is asked to bring a sack lunch for food and fellowship afterwards.
