DAR to learn of Amelia Earhart history

The Luiseno Chapter of the Daughters of the American Revolution will meet on Tuesday, March 27th, in the Grace Mellman Library’s Community Room in Temecula.  The special guest speaker for this meeting will be Douglas Westfall, noted author, publisher and teacher of America’s history.  Mr. Westfall will be speaking on “Amelia Earhart, The Rest of the Story.”  This will be a most appropriate topic for Women in History month.
