WHAT
ARE THE ACTIVITIES OF THE
WESTERN RESERVE SOCIETY SAR?
The Western Reserve Society, founded in 1892, now with
more than 400 members, is one of the largest SAR chapters in the USA.
The Society meets monthly to hear speakers discuss diverse topics, generally of
patriotic or historical interest. The chapter, through its 25 committees,
has a number of outreach patriotic, education and service objectives. In
addition to activities listed elsewhere on this web page, Society members, depending
on individual special interests, also may be actively involved in:
8th Grade Good
Citizenship Certificate Program
The Western Reserve Society Sons of the American Revolution
award each year Good Citizenship Certificates to Eighth Grade Students who
demonstrate qualities of good citizenship. We believe this program can
provide incentive and stimulate admiration for good citizenship on the part of
our youth.

Stella M. Knight Patriot Essay Contest for High School Students
High school students in
their sophomore, junior or senior year of study during the 200-2008 school year are
