Luiseno DAR December meeting

The December meeting of the Luiseno Chapter of the Daughters of the American Revolution (DAR) will be held on December 20th at the Colony Grill in Murrieta.   The special guest speaker for the meeting will be Keith

to hearing of the progress made by this important program.  In addition to the special guest speaker, the group will, once again, be collecting toys for the Toys for Tots program in celebration of the holiday season.
