Chapter Activities

Members of our Lane’s Mill Chapter participate in service activities that reflect the interests of our existing members, our prospective members, and the community at large. We also participate in DAR-related business activities, such as attendance at district meetings, the annual state conference of the Virginia Daughters of the American Revolution, and Continental Congress.
