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:
