Letter from Sandi<br />
I am pleased to present to you this year’s Spring Fling, “Proud<br />
To Be An American Celebrating the American Flag” in honor<br />
of our founding ideals and those of our ancestors who died<br />
in their defense as well as the many men and women currently<br />
serving to protect and defend our country and our<br />
flag of the United States of America.<br />
Through our patriotic activities, our Chapter is the national<br />
recipient of many achievement awards for our service to<br />
veterans. On the local level, we donate to Veterans Services<br />
at the VA hospital in Sepulveda, the Ventura Veteran’s<br />
Home, the Ventura County Stand Down and other programs<br />
supporting our active duty personnel. Our educational<br />
sponsorships include the American History Essay Contests,<br />
Christopher Columbus Essay Contests and the DAR Good<br />
Citizens Essay Contests, award contests at the middle school<br />
and high school levels. Additionally, we sponsor a ROTC<br />
Medals program at the high school and college level. Also,<br />
donations are made to the State and National DAR funded<br />
and sponsored schools. Your support of the Spring Fling will<br />
ensure that we are able to continue these many invaluable<br />
patriotic and educational activities.<br />
Thank you to my Spring Fling committee. Your hours of hard<br />
work, giving up all of your Saturdays for months on end and<br />
your endless planning pays off each year to achieve our<br />
largest fundraiser of the year. It would not be possible without<br />
you!!<br />
I appreciate you all for coming today! I hope you enjoy this<br />
special event and venue, soak up the sun and sea air, and<br />
enjoy the most amazing views of the Pacific Ocean and our<br />
Channel Islands.<br />
Sandi Selditz, Second Vice Regent
