🇺🇸 Friendship, Fellowship & Service 🇺🇸

The Eunice Sterling Chapter, NSDAR, recently gathered for our annual Summer Soirée—an afternoon filled with friendship, fellowship, laughter, and a celebration of the meaningful work our chapter is able to accomplish together. ❤️🤍💙

A very special part of our gathering was presenting a $1,000 donation to Passageways, Ltd, an organization dedicated to helping homeless veterans in our community.

These funds were raised through our 2025 Wreaths Across America campaign, and we were honored to select Passageways as the recipient again this year. What began as an effort to remember and honor our nation’s fallen heroes has continued into an opportunity to serve and support veterans in our community today.

We are so grateful to everyone who purchased a wreath, made a donation, volunteered, or helped spread the word. Your generosity made this gift possible!

It was a beautiful afternoon reminding us that when we come together in service, we can make a difference. 🇺🇸

Remember. Honor. Teach. Serve.
That is the heart of the Eunice Sterling Chapter, NSDAR. 💙

🎄🇺🇸 Christmas in July is Here! Help Us Honor Our Heroes. 🇺🇸🎄

The Eunice Sterling Chapter, NSDAR is proud to kick off our Wreaths Across America Christmas in July Wreath Drive!

This year, we’re honored to sponsor Maple Grove Cemetery, one of Wichita’s oldest and most historic cemeteries. Our goal is to place a remembrance wreath on the grave of every veteran laid to rest there this December, ensuring their service and sacrifice are never forgotten. Maple Grove is working to honor approximately 1,000 veterans during this year’s ceremony. (Wreaths Across America)

🎁 Just $17 sponsors one veteran’s wreath. Every wreath is a meaningful tribute to someone who answered our nation’s call to serve.

❤️ Will you help us reach our goal? Whether you sponsor one wreath or several, every donation makes a difference.

Remember the Fallen. Honor Those Who Serve. Teach the Next Generation the Value of Freedom.

Wreaths Across America ("WAA") coordinates wreath-laying ceremonies every December to "Remember, Honor, and Teach" about the sacrifices made by our veterans and their families.

To celebrate our members, we hosted a lovely party following our Chapter meeting on March 27, 2026. The décor was cherry blossom themed, featuring cherry blossom bouquets and a cherry blossom cake. 🌸 Members were encouraged to wear pink or white.

We were also delighted to install our newest member, Patricia Johnson—welcome to the chapter!

Our meeting program highlighted the Cherry Blossom Festival in Washington, D.C., connecting us to this beloved national tradition.

In addition, our chapter proudly voted to sponsor a cherry tree at Botanica in Wichita in honor of America’s 250th anniversary, commemorating this historic milestone right here in our local community. 🌳🇺🇸

We had such a wonderful time representing the Eunice Sterling Chapter NSDAR and partnering with Martha Loving Ferrell Chapter, NSDAR at the Community Resource Fair hosted by the Wellington Chamber of Commerce and the Wellington Public Library.

With more than 35 booths, the event brought together an incredible variety of organizations—from healthcare providers and workforce resources to the Wellington Humane Society, local American Legion, and Veterans of Foreign Wars.

It was a fantastic opportunity to connect with our community, share what we do, and learn about the many resources available right here in Wellington. Events like this truly highlight the strength and spirit of our community—all in one place!

📜🇺🇸 Happy Constitution Day! 🇺🇸📜

Today we celebrate the signing of the United States Constitution on September 17, 1787. This remarkable document established the framework of our government and secured the guiding principles of liberty, justice, and democracy that we continue to uphold today.

Let’s take a moment to reflect on the freedoms we enjoy and honor the vision of the Founding Fathers who created the foundation of our nation. 💙❤️
