And it took away the right of individual chapters to vote down any applicants that they might deem unacceptable. I’m out!

😣😣😣 and to think that we Daughters had been kicked out of the original Descendants organization by the Sons...so we said “Go Fish” and started our own! So much for that.
As a former member of the organization for 20 years, I was very sad to see that decision. I dropped my membership due to busyness of family and have considered rejoining now that children are grown but not now. Very sad!
I resigned from the DAR last year - their obsession with the military disgusted me (and was against the principles of the Founding Fathers). I am HORRIFIED to read this latest development.
Also, nobody found it ironic that the leadership are called "Regents." C'mon man.
Keeping the Throne warm til the King comes, eh, what? 🙄🙄🙄 But I did my time for 3 yrs of Chapter Regent and immediately flamed out. It seems the modus operandi is welcoming new members in and two years later, you’re running the meetings. And then the old guard complain because you have no clue about the organizational culture. Ugh.
I am so glad you said that! I found myself forced into elected position before I had even had time to go through the training, no instruction given, during a time when my father was in hospice and I had no extra time to devote. I stopped attending meetings and this year I’m not renewing.
Such a familiar story...and I’m sorry you had to go thru that at such a difficult time in your life! And you said...”training”? No such thing! They hand you the keys to the cruise ship and step back, waving from the dock! Bon voyage! 😞

Another grand old group eats the alphabet lollipop.

Good bye DAR.
Proud of my heritage until now.
I'm stunned!
Those of us in this group NEED TO GET INVOLVED!!
I’ll be very interested to see how many Daughters will bail.

Whaaaat? I just last week learned that my claim to a patriot was proven. Am all set to be welcomed on Saturday. Ugh.
So sorry...but I hope that they will come to their senses and go back to us all having XX! NO XY!
Agreed! Let’s see if we can be an influence (since our dues are paid for the year at this point).
Of course, my dues & donations check cleared the bank the day before I found out this had happened. 😣😣😣
