This non-profit service organization for ladies who have lineage from an ancestor who served during the years 1784-1815, now has its third chapter in Arkansas in Bella Vista. Little Rock and Pine Bluff have chapters and Texarkana is working on one. After a lot of work the group in Bella Vista decided to name their chapter the Thomas H. Flippin Chapter, honoring one of the early Flippin family of Marion county. They have a nice web site up and running as does the national organization. They are planning a ceremony at the grave site of Thomas H. Flippin, in the Flippin Cemetery, when the weather moderates somewhat, to place the honorary U. S. D. 1812 flagstick. There is a very wide variety of wars and service that an ancestor could have participated in to qualify members. Members of this new chapter in Bella Vista tell me they would be pleased to assist in helping to organize a chapter in North Central Arkansas if we could get enough ladies interested. I will be glad to provide Names, telephone numbers and e-mail addresses if you will contact me direct. I don’t think I am permitted to site their web site but it is easy to find and very informative. Anyone interested? There is also a group for men, they are just getting started in Little Rock and are still taking Charter membership applications. Let me know if I can help. Don
