News from Daughters of the American Revolution
Ronan resident Sandra “Sandy” Janelle Cain Taylor was recognized as the Most Valuable Daughter for 2017 of Kalispell’s Chief Ignace Chapter at the state conference celebrating 124 years of service in Montana this week.
Taylor retired with her husband Bruce in 2015 and moved from Texas to Big Sky Country when she transferred her DAR membership to Chief Ignace Chapter. “Being named the first Most Valuable Daughter of my new DAR Chapter is such an honor,” Sandy exclaimed! She was recognized primarily for her outstanding contributions to the 100th Anniversary celebrations, taking responsibility for researching 100 years of old scrapbooks, writing and layout of public relations and the media award-winning anniversary booklet and other print items. After reading about the 13-star flag that Chief Ignace Chapter owned, she set out to find the flag and didn’t give up until it was back in the chapter’s possession. Taylor will be installed as chapter historian later this month.
