Service to Veterans
Each year, Pioneer Chapter, NSDAR, supports the Veterans Administration (VA) Medical Center and the Idaho State Veterans Home in many ways. Whether we are providing cookies or other tasty treats for celebrations, or we are providing manpower for events like the Veterans Olympics or Veterans Carnival, we love the chance to show Idaho's veterans how much we appreciate their service.
Preserving Genealogical Records
Did someone say genealogical records? Whether we are indexing census records, collecting and preserving family Bibles, or digitizing historical documents for the DAR Library, Pioneer Chapter, NSDAR, Daughters have lots of opportunities to help preserve documents and data for use by Daughters and members of the general public alike!
