Prosser to speak of ‘heart truth’ for women at DAR In recognition of National Heart Month, the Oregon Dunes Chapter Daughters of the American Revolution (DAR) will feature important information with a program presented by retired RN, Katie Prosser, at its monthly meeting on Friday, Jan. 27, beginning at 12:30 p.m. Katie will share “The Heart Truth,” to educate members on a brief overview of the history of women and heart disease and common myths specific to women.

Though Daughters of the American Revolution is a line- age organization, members of the community are welcome to attend and learn more about heart health for women in a casual setting. This information could make a difference for you or those you care about. This local chapter supports active duty military, veterans and is proud to award an annu- al scholarship to a graduating senior. For more than a century, the members of the National Society Daughters of the American Revolution have dedicated themselves to his- torical preservation, promo- tion of education, and encour- agement of patriotic endeavor.
