2017
Fort GreeneVille Chapter Regent Award
Fort GreeneVille Chapter Regent Debbie Nisonger recently awarded
Christina Eberst Nehring with the 2017 Fort GreeneVille Chapter Regent
Award. Chris is recognized and honored for her extraordinary work in
the numerous activities supporting Veterans including the Angels for
Veterans - Angel Paws Program. The certificate is awarded each year by
the Regent to a chapter member who shows extraordinary dedication to
the principles of what DAR stands for.
Chris has been very active with Veterans in Darke County. Being an Air
Force Veteran herself, Chris has chaired the local Veteran’s Thank a
Vet 5K which has raised over $6,000 to Angels Fort Veterans program,
Angel Paws. She has also assisted in raising funds for the Darke County
Fairgrounds Veterans Building renovation, participated in local
parades, VFW Poppy sales, co-chaired two baby showers for VA Hospital
female Veterans among numerous other DAR and VFW Veterans events.
The members of the National Society Daughters of the American
Revolution have dedicated themselves to the objectives of historical
preservation, promotion of education and encouragement of patriotic
endeavor. These goals are as relevant in today's society as they were
when the organization was founded in 1890. Most of DAR's volunteer work
is accomplished by the grassroots efforts of chapters on the local
level which focus on the objectives of DAR by encouraging members to
become involved in these initiatives in their local communities.
