Oregon State Society Children of the American Revolution

Oregon State Society Children of the American Revolution is a patriotic organization whose mission is to train good citizens, develop leaders and promote love of the United States of America and its heritage among young people.

    The National Website has a new video that highlights regional conferences and other C.A.R. activities. National also has a virtual tour of the Children's Room. Visit these sites to learn more about C.A.R.!
    The Oregon State Society C.A.R. recently elected a new president, Nick Dolbin. He will be working with Oregon Lewis and Clark Chapter, SAR, to raise funds for their American Revolution War Memorial in Beaverton, Oregon.
    As a state society we sponsor several activities through the year. Our first will be our leadership workshop/ campout. We then have a program packet meeting in conjuction with the state SAR/DAR/C.A.R. picnic. In November we enter a float into the Albany Veteran's Day parade. The Albany parade is billed the largest veteran's day parade on the west coast. We have received an award in the youth division float catagory for the last 3 years. The highlight of the year is our state conference in March. This year we celebrated our 76th state conference. Our Honorary State President was able to raise $1500 for her project, Chemawa Indian School. For her efforts, in April she was awarded the blue merit award at National Convention. Our next 77th state conference will be in Portland, Oregon on March 9-10, 2012.
    Our 75th Anniversary geogem-geocaching travelor has been found! It briefly went missing, but is still in the hands of a geocacher in Colorado, who hopefully will move it along its journey soon! You can track this geogem at geocaching.com by entering TB3CQKN.
    Our next activity will be the Albany Veteran's Day Parade. We hope to see you there.
