We are excited to remind you of our upcoming trip to Tryon Palace in New Bern, North Carolina, on Saturday, November 4th. The highlight of our day will be the Governor’s Pass Tour, offering a 2.5 to 3-hour immersive experience into 18th-century life, complete with a presentation and discussion on 18th-century cooking techniques.

Following the tour, we’ll come together for a relaxed and late lunch at Morgan’s Tavern and Grill where we can enjoy good food and even better company. This trip is a fantastic opportunity to connect with fellow members, delve into history, and appreciate the roots of our great nation. We look forward to sharing this memorable day with you.

We’re delighted to announce that the Wilmington Ladies Tea Walk Chapter, NSDAR, will be participating in the Veterans Day Ceremony at Cape Fear Community College on November 9th at 11 AM in the main courtyard.

It’s a heartfelt gathering, and we invite you to join us and participate as we represent our chapter’s dedication to our veterans. Our Veterans committee chairman, Gayle Bordeaux, will be there to greet and direct you on how you can help with the event. We’ll have a simple table set up, offering water and star pins on a red, white, and blue ribbon, which you can take with you. You’ll also find forms to sponsor a wreath for the Wilmington National Cemetery. It’s an opportunity to show your support and gratitude for our veterans. Please contact Gayle if you are inspired to help out and support our veterans.

In an effort to honor our student veterans and enhance their experience at Cape Fear Community College, we’re sponsoring a small canteen area in the student veterans center. It’s a small gesture that can make a big difference in their daily lives. The student veterans have expressed a need for small, single-serving bags of microwave popcorn and flavored coffee creamers to make their time on campus more comfortable and enjoyable.

We’d like to extend a big thanks to Gayle Bordeaux, whose tireless efforts have made this initiative possible. She’s been instrumental in organizing this meaningful project.

As we come together for our meetings, if you can bring either microwave popcorn or non-refrigerated flavored and holiday creamers, you’d be contributing significantly to this cause. These simple snacks and a warm cup of coffee (courtesy of the college) can provide a comforting and inviting space for our student veterans, making their academic journey just a bit sweeter.

Let’s celebrate America250 together!
