Greetings Compatriots!

Please remember that in the month of July, because of the July 4th Parade, and the DAR/SAR Picnic we do not have a Chapter meeting in July on the third Tuesday (July 21, 2026).

The next meeting of the Pulaski Chapter SAR will be on Tuesday, August 18, 2026 at 7:00 PM in the Pulaski Room of the Carroll County Veterans' Center on Stripling Chapel Road in Carrollton.

Thank you to everyone that participated in the parade on July 4 in Carrollton, The Tallapoosa Museum Dedication the afternoon of July 4, and the Atlanta Braves presentation of Colors the night of July 4.

While it was a very busy day, it provided so many "Great Memories" for all of our Chapters.

Thank you for stepping up and making this a great day for DAR, SAR, and America.

Thank you,

Blessings,

Mike
