JUNIORS
"Juniors
are Opening the Doors of Opportunity through the Spirit of
Hospitality!"
A Junior Member is a DAR member age 18 through 35 years of age (until her 36th birthday). She holds full membership in the National Society, State Society and chapter, and when qualified, may serve as an officer and chairman at all levels. Junior Members join the DAR for a variety of diverse reasons. Often they join with a mother, grandmother, or aunt. New Mexico's Junior Members are students, teachers, mothers, lawyers, authors, accountants, and professionals in their communities. Although these young women are busy, they still find time to contribute to the DAR. The goals of Junior Membership are to gain new Junior members; to build a well-informed Junior Membership; to encourage active participation in all phases of DAR service; and to support the National Junior Membership Committee's official fund raising project-the Helen Pouch Memorial Fund. Helen Pouch Memorial Fund Authorized
in 1938, the Helen Pouch Memorial Fund is named in memory of Helen
Pouch (1901-1919). Helen was the daughter of Mrs. William H.
Pouch, the first National Chairman of the Junior Membership Committee
in 1937, and later President General, 1941-1944. The fund
provides scholarships, medical aid, and general financial assistance to
the two DAR schools, Kate Duncan Smith in Alabama, and Tamassee in
South Carolina. Meeting this commitment is a combined effort by
Juniors nationwide through fund raising projects. Site maintained by Cheryl Jackson, Webmaster. Last updated March 15, 2008. Site
