Women’s History Month Celebration
CRANES FORD DAR
Women’s History Month is an annual declared month that highlights the contributions of women to events in history. In 1987, the US Congress passed legislation which designated the month of March as Women’s History Month.
The Cranes Ford DAR Chapter invites the public to a presentation by John Prescott, History Programs Coordinator of the Union County Office of Cultural and Heritage Affairs. He is also an Adjunct Professor of US History at Union College. He will present a slide presentation on notable women from Union County. It will be held at the Cranford Community Center 220 Walnut Avenue on March 11, 2023. The program will begin at 1 p.m., followed by light refreshments.
The NSDAR is as volunteer women’s service organization dedicated to promoting patriotism, historic preservation and education through commemorative events, scholarship, and meaningful community service. Membership is open to any woman 18 years or older who can prove lineal descent from an ancestor who aided in achieving American Independence. Currently there are 45 chapters in New Jersey, and 4 chapters in Union County (Summit, Cranford, Springfield and Westfield).
