Members of the Waw-wil-a-way Chapter of the Daughters of the American Revolution traveled to Georgetown to meet with three other chapters on Oct. 8.
Taliaferro Chapter also hosted Lt. Byrd, and Sycamore Chapters with a delicious luncheon and patriotic pins.
Following the luncheon, Leslie Arendt presented an interesting and educational program “Changes in Women’s Fashion, 1750-1880.” Arendt has researched the history and reasons for the changes. She has also used her own skills to create each dress, hat and sometimes undergarments.
The ladies modeling some of the garments are Arendt’s sisters. Arendt previously presented a wonderful program, "Daddy was a Confederate.”
Members were reminded to turn in volunteer hours. Also discussed were greeting Honor Flights and the sale of a DAR sun catcher. The next meeting will be at 11 a.m. Nov. 5 at St. Mary’s Episcopal Church.
