A Ghoulish Affair!!!

Our Color Guard spends the Saturday night before Halloween with the Ghosts at the Lone Fir Cemetery in Portland. Ghostly guides escorted almost 2,000 visitors on 45 minute tours to meet some of the cemetery's residents and hear the unusual circumstances surrounding their untimely departures.

We were part of the free community History Fair with interactive displays, snacks and information about our Sons of the American Revolution and Oregon Revolutionary War Memorial. As you see in the above photo, we brought along pieces of our Learning Trunk, items we take into schools, organizations, and public events to teach about the Revolutionary War and the people who lived in that time.

Lewis & Clark Chapter SAR Color Guard presents the Colors at the OSSDAR State Conference Saturday May 20, 2017







Good afternoon, Lewis & Clark SAR Gentlemen!

Thank you so much for serving as the Color Guard yesterday at our OSSDAR State Conference in Wilsonville! It was such a happy surprise to see your 2 new Junior members marching proudly with your contingent. ;-)

Attached are 4 photos taken as y'all marched in. Fair warning: They're a tad fuzzy but…..
                better than nutting', eh? Hopefully, someone else took better ones for you.

Enjoy the rest of your weekend!    
XOXOX,  Roberta/Bertie Mills
