The 100th
Anniversary of the National Society Colonial Dames XVII Century will be in
2015. The National Society was founded July 15, 1915. The founder was Miss Mary
Florence Taney and 5 other ladies. Miss Taney was the National Society's
Organizing President General, first President General, and first Treasurer
General. The National 100th Anniversary Committee, as well as your State
chairman is recommending that all chapters present a program on the History of
our Society if this has not been a program in the last few years. It is
suggested to each chapter to include the 100'° Anniversary celebration in your
budget or have a special money making project for it. Elizabeth McAteer, past
State President, who is the Vice-Chairman of the National Committee has told
this chairman that there are many special events planned for the 100th
Anniversary at the National Convention in April 2015. We would like to plan to
have a large number of Dames attending the National Convention in 2015 - enough
to engage a chartered bus Start planning now to travel with us to Washington,
DC in 2015. Dames making donations of S100 or $200 to the committee will be
eligible to purchase pins available from Hamilton Jewelers. For a donation of
$100 you may purchase the Anniversary pin for $57. A donation of $200 will make
you eligible to purchase both the 100th Anniversary pin for $57 and the
Centennial pin for $94. Donations may be made in honor or memory of someone.
All donations must go through the Chapter Treasurer and the State Treasurer.
You may go on the National Society Colonial Dames of XVIIC website: www.colonialdames17c.org and get suggestions for programs under the Directives for
the 100m Anniversary Committee. Our Heritage is the reason why we are
celebrating one hundred years as the National Society Colonial Dames XVII
Century. Joan P Summerfield, Chairman 209 West Park Drive; Morganton. NC 28655
