At
the close of the 1995 VADAR State Conference, Mrs. Calhoun J.
Killeen, a member of the Freedom Hill Chapter, NSDAR, proposed
to Mrs. Stephen R. Hunter, State Regent, VADAR, the organizing
of a VADAR Cameo Club. The State Regent enthusiastically agreed
to approve Mrs. Killeen's proposal in 1998 if enough Virginia
Daughters expressed interest in forming a Cameo Club. Word began
to spread and many Daughters expressed interest.
On February
9, 1998, the State Regent mailed a Cameo Club Interest and
Luncheon Reservation Form to prospective members of the Cameo
Club. It informed them of an organizing meeting and luncheon to
be held at the 102nd State Conference in Richmond, Virginia. The
State Regent approved Mrs. Killeen as Organizing President and
presiding officer.
Eighty-three Virginia Daughters attended this organizing meeting
and luncheon. The 1998-2000 officers were elected, the Cameo
Club Bylaws were approved, formal membership applications were
distributed, and a delightful luncheon followed.
