The Pierre George Rousseau Chapter recently held its Christmas gathering in the home of President Rodney and Amanda McKelroy. As is custom, there was a brief pause in the festivities to recognize individual accomplishments. For his continued service in support of ancestry research and sponsoring new applicants, Joel Whitehead received the SAR Liberty Medal with Oak Leaf Cluster.

For their years of service to the chapter Tom Jacks and Leonard Rohrbough each received a 25 Year Certificate. Tom Jacks accepted on behalf of his sons David, Collin and Clay Jacks 15 Year Certificates. Everyone enjoyed getting together socializing during the most joyous time of the year.
