ALBION – The Orleans DAR Chapter on Saturday hosted and served an afternoon tea with light foods and refreshments for the women of the PFC. Joseph P. Dwyer Peer to Peer Program.
In attendance were the women of the DAR, as well as women veterans, spouses of veterans and family members of veterans. Penny Nice, president of the local DAR chapter, provided information and education on the Patriot House. NY State Historian, Patrice Birner, presented a program on “Margaret Cochran Corbin: The First Woman to Receive a Military Pension.”
The local DAR chapter members and the PFC. Joseph P. Dwyer Peer to Peer Volunteer Program Coordinator, Catherine Schmidt, put together a day of comfort and well-being for the women who attended the program.
Schmidt and all the women in attendance would like to thank the Orleans Chapter DAR for the wonderful time, the fabulous food, and the informative and educational program. A wonderful time was had by all and many new friendships made, she said.
