Compatriots Steve Ray and Gerald Graves set up shop at Pecanland Mall in Monroe and took donations to help raise funds for the Louisiana Society to host the SAR 2027 National Congress to be held in New Orleans. Donors received chances to win a two-dollar bill printed in 1777 by the newly formed United States of America with the drawing to be held during the Chapter’s March meeting. A total of $72 was raised that day and donors had an opportunity to have their photograph taken with Gerald in his Revolutionary War uniform. Several people expressed interest in SAR.
