Painting a Bright Future Raises Funds for DAR Junior Membership

On June 8, 2013, Philadelphia Winn Chapter NSDAR hosted "Painting a Bright Future," a fundraiser for the Chapter's Junior Club. The event took place in the Florida ballroom of Ashton Senior Living in Lawrenceville.

The event was open to the public and included brunch. Participants created an acrylic painting of the American flag under the watchful eye of Charity Lindop, an instructor from Masterpiece Mixers Paint & Party Studio in Suwanee. The studio furnished supplies including canvas, paint, brushes, and aprons. Upon completion, artists carried their paintings home with them.

According to Jen Clark, Chairman of the Philadelphia Winn Chapter Junior Membership Committee,  "All fundraiser collections remain local and go to support Georgia Juniors. One of the Junior Membership's goals is to encourage active participation in all phases of DAR service. This includes DAR's mission to promote historic preservation, education, and patriotism."
