Miss Jolie Williamson, a Daughter in the Lafayette DAR Galvez Chapter and a recent appointee as Executive Director of Louisiana Governor Jeff Landry's Childrens Cabinet was guest speaker at the January 31st meeting in Lafayette.
Miss Williamson spoke about Thomas Paine and his "Common Sense" pamphlet (published in January 10, 1776), which is considered by many to have been the inspiration for the Declaration of Independence (ratified on July 4, 1776). The presentation was well received.

Representative of ongoing efforts by both DAR and SAR, attendance at last night's Attakapas Chapter meeting was well mixed and an excellent representation of DAR Galvez and SAR Attakapas Chapters working together.
