The 125th Gala for the Manhattan Chapter of the National Daughters of the American Revolution was celebrated at The Players. New York State Regent Pamela Neth Barrack, Manhattan Chapter Regent Sarah Shea Lynch, and her 125th Anniversary Committee Chair Bonnie Comley, Committee Members Joyce Roquemore Hanly, Linda Rhodes Jones, Hannah Tennyson Krause, Muriel Roberts, and Doris Simmons rejoiced and reflected on the work of the chapter. Representatives from other New York DAR and SAR Chapters joined the festivities.

NSDAR is a non-profit and non-political society led, staffed, and funded entirely by women dedicated to supporting the mission and interests of education, historic preservation, and inclusive patriotism. Today’s DAR is a 21st-century organization with a vibrant, diverse membership, sharing service opportunities, developing leadership skills, and an appreciation of history. There are nearly 180,000 current members of the DAR in approximately 3,000 chapters across the United States and in several other countries. The organization is one of the most inclusive genealogical societies in the United States. Membership in the DAR today is open to all women, regardless of race or religion, who can prove lineal bloodline descent from an ancestor who aided in achieving United States independence.

The Manhattan Chapter remains steadfast in fulfilling the DAR's core mission: historic preservation, education, and patriotism. The Manhattan Daughters actively engage with these principles, volunteering countless hours each year.
