Cochise Stronghold Chapter held its organizing
meeting on January 9, 2009 (click link for pictures) was chartered on February 9, 2009. The chapter members live in Benson, Saint David, Mescal,
J-6, and Pomerene. We have prospective members from Pearce and Dragoon. Our members are active in the Benson community serving the
goals on the national society on education, historic preservation, and
patriotic endeavors. Currently the chapter is meeting on the 1st
Thursday morning of the month between September and May. Contact us
for an invitation to the next meeting.
Members participated in the July 4th parade with
Betsy Ross rocking her way through Benson while sewing her American
flag. We serve our community by promoting donations to the
Benson Food Bank, Benson
Arts Commission, and the Arizona Family History Centers, just to name a few.
Chapter members plan to work with the area school districts
of Benson and St.

Good Citizens, and scholarships,
and supporting
DAR sponsored schools.
We are serving our active
military and veterans,
attending new
citizen ceremonies, and working with our area Indian communities
promoting American
Indian schools and scholarships. (For links in this paragraph,
