Frances Slocum Chapter, DAR
NORTH MANCHESTER – The monthly meeting of the Frances Slocum Chapter of the Daughters of the American Revolution (DAR) took place Tuesday at the North Manchester Center for History.
Guests were Kathleen Nave, South Whitley; Pat King, Buffalo, N.Y.; and Elizabeth Moore, Andrews.
The meeting opened with the DAR ritual. Devotions were “You Can Be Happy” from Guideposts 2008. The April president general's message from Ann Turner Dillon was shared by Joyce Joy. The DAR Museum’s quilt exhibit, “A Piece of Her Mind: Culture and Technology in American Quilts” is open. The exhibit explores how women in the 19th century created quilts that reflected their makers’ involvement in the world around them.
The national defender report was on how “Hackers Gain Access to Sensitive Military Data,” given by Nancy Tiger. Over the past 18 months, hackers from other nations have carried out numerous cybersecurity breaches to gain access to Navy data and plans, in what is considered “some of the most debilitating cyber campaigns.” These hackers have infiltrated U.S. Navy contractor networks, prompting the Navy secretary to order a cybersecurity review. Previously stolen data includes that of the highest tech, classified military data from small and large Navy contractors.
The Indian committee minute was about the Fort Wayne City Council’s approval of a resolution establishing July 16 as “Mad” Anthony Wayne Day. The Miami Indian Tribe’s Fort Wayne office finds the resolution has erroneous and inaccurate information.
The Conservation Minute was “Why We Need the Endangered Species Act.” The Flag Minute was the live television coverage allowing the world to watch Apollo 11 astronauts Neil Armstrong and Edwin “Buzz” Aldrin raise the American flag on the surface of the moon July 20, 1969.
The program was presented by Barbara Amiss on the North Manchester Dr. Manasseh Cutler Chapter organized in 1939 and disbanded in November 2000.
The next meeting of the Frances Slocum Chapter will be on May 14 at the Grandstaff-Hentgen Activity Room, 1241 Wabash Avenue, Wabash. Prospective members and guests are always welcome to attend.
DAR membership is open to any woman 18 and older who can prove lineal descent from a patriot of the American Revolution. Those having questions about their family history lineage information may contact www.dar.org or Linda Thompson at 260-563-4661 or Barbara Amiss at 260-982-4376.

Donna and her family enjoyed their trip to California this past week. She shared a few highlights of the trip, even being surprised to stay in a home she had hoped to see that she had watched on a remodeling TV show.
Donna is hard at work helping with the upcoming 30th annual Relay for Life of Kosciusko County. The event is June 8 at the Kosciusko County Fairgrounds in Warsaw. All funds raised from this event will be used to support the American Cancer Society's work in prevention, local programs for patients and cancer research.
