State Regent’s Message Dear Oklahoma Daughters: It is magnificent observing all of our chapters’ using “Keys to DAR” in projects/activities; demonstrating love with random acts of kindness and aiding others. Oklahoma Daughters throughout the state are expanding your families every day, bringing people into your lives that produce a positive impact. It’s preparation for what’s next, what’s around the corner and how you can or become a contributing member. You’re exerting a tremendous influence in our Oklahoma communities. These are the “KEYS” for building a healthy chapter and boasting members’ rewarding DAR journeys.
Chapters appear to have a detailed plan of how to achieve chapter goals successfully. Oklahoma DAR “measures up” through employing hard work and generosity of time, talents, and monetary resources and building on the shoulders of earlier leaders. Anne Rogers Minor, President General in 1923 stated so well--“In DAR, it depends upon the kind of spirit in which you do its work and it depends on what you give to it, not what you get out of it”. You’ve big-heartedly contributed to Oklahoma’s Veterans First Fund to create the legacy and generously shared your time with veterans and thanked them for standing guard over our values of freedom and democracy; recognized individuals quietly performing community service; acknowledged outstanding history teachers; wrote grants to acquire money to mark historic sites for historic preservation; gifted leisure reading books for elementary students (sometimes this has been the first time they’ve ever owned a book) and encouraged middle school and high school students to write essays. Are you ready for inspiration, discovery, connecting with others and flourishing on your DAR journey? If so, immediately take out your pen and fill in the registration form; make out your check payable to OSDAR or call the Great Plains Conference Registration Chairman Linda Mann at (405) 668-0360 and provide her with your credit card number and she’ll take your payment via our electronic credit card reader; mail your registration form to Linda Mann; and dial the Embassy Suites to reserve your room. It’s time to celebrate as the Great Plains District is hosting the conference. Conference Chair Marqueta Bentley and District Director Deborah Aldridge are busily planning a dazzling celebratory event for us. Additional “Keys to DAR” are being utilized by State Chairmen of American History, Sue Roth; Junior American Citizens, Judy Ringwall; DAR Good Citizens, Grace Ellsworth; and Outstanding History Teacher, Dr. Barbara McClanahan for planning a distinctive honors and awards ceremony for students, teachers and guests on Friday afternoon. Your participation and attendance on Friday afternoon is imperative to demonstrate to parents and their students what DAR members do in their communities. Like beads on a wire, DAR Daughters are all connected, linked together by bonds of friendship and shared experiences. We are grateful to have State Regents present from Mississippi and Louisiana.
Honoring our Heritage, Focusing on the Future and Celebrating America,

Christy VanCleave How do you teach love when a person hasn’t
ever experienced it? How do you teach love to a
dog that is a rescue dog and probably never
experienced affection? Christy VanCleave found
the answers by pairing the woman and dog
together in a program called “Muddy Paws”.
Christy is the Executive Director of Muddy Paws / Pets Helping People
in Tulsa, OK; a non-profit that teaches incarcerated women as well as
other felons careers in the grooming, boarding, day care and training
fields for the pet industry.
Training and teaching is her passion. She loves nothing more than to
see individuals learn, become managers or own their own shops. She
trains the women mostly by using rescued and adopted dogs.

Katie Prior
15-year old Katie Prior is the founder of the Youth
Trumpet & Taps Corps, a 501c3 non-profit
organization that trains, supports, and recognizes
high school trumpet players who use their musical
gifts to honor military veterans. When Katie heard
that many veterans’ funerals have an audio
recording of Taps, she decided to recruit her friends to see to it that
veterans in her community get the live tribute they deserve.
She developed the program as her Girl Scout Gold Award and became
the council’s youngest awardee in history at the age of 14. She has
since grown her organization, held training workshops in Oklahoma,
Texas, and Wisconsin, and created an online training that can be taken
by any high school trumpeter across the country. To date, she has

Taps at military funerals and perform patriotic music at community
events honoring veterans.
