The National Society North Carolina Colonial Dames 17th Century Lord Craven Chapter Held a Zoom Meeting on February 20, 2021

 The Lord Craven Colonial Dames meeting was held on Saturday, February 20, 2021, at 10:30. Pat Gooding hosed us, a former Lord Craven president, and regent of the Brunswick Town DAR Chapter. This meeting was jointly held with the newly formed Cape Fear Chapter of Daughters of American Colonists. 

                                

The guest speaker was Brett Riggs, who enchanted us last year with his knowledge of the truth about piracy. This time his topic was "Political Differences between the Colonies before the Revolution."

If the same people who ordered wreaths for this year, they would get double the amount, which could put us just where we want next year on December 18, 2019, which is the date to place next year’s wreaths on graves.

Happy New Year Dames!

Today we celebrate the 59^th birthday of Lord Craven Chapter.  On December 30, 1961, a group of ladies under the leadership of Jeannette Cox St Amand met in Wilmington and organized the new chapter of the Colonial Dames of the Seventeenth Century, selecting the name Lord Craven, one of the Lords Proprietors.  Our thanks go to Mrs. St Amand and all those early ladies of Lord Craven Chapter for their foresight.

Thanks.

Cindy Sellers, President
