San Saba River Chapter
San Saba, Texas
Chapter History
The San Saba River Chapter was officially named on
September 4, 1997 in recognition of the community and the river
that blesses this portion of the Hill Country in Central Texas. Prior
to chartering in 1998, the chapter held several pre-organizational
meetings beginning in April of the previous year. We were blessed
by some gracious ladies from the Oran Milo Roberts Chapter in
Lampasas who provided information and met with us on several
occasions to assist in the application process. The Lampasas
chapter voted to officially sponsor the San Saba Chapter and
advised, encouraged and reviewed our paperwork for the
chartering of our new chapter. A temporary slate of officers was
elected in October and then finalized in January. The San Saba River Chapter chartered on February 20, 1998.
Meetings
The San Saba River Chapter meets on the first Thursday
of the month at Rylander Memorial Library on the Court House
square in San Saba.
Objectives
The objectives of this organization are (1) To perpetuate the
memory and spirit of the men and women who achieved and
maintained the independence of Texas. (2) To encourage historical
research into the earliest records of Texas, especially those relating
to the Revolution of 1835 and the events which followed; to foster
the preservation of documents and relics; to encourage the
publication of records of individual service of the soldiers and
patriots of the Republic and other source material for the history
of Texas. (3) To promote the celebration of Texas Honor Days
and to secure and memorialize historic spots by erecting markers
thereon, and to cherish and preserve the unity of Texas, as
achieved and established by the fathers and mothers of the
Texas Revolution.
