Barefoot Beach Chapter Daughters attended the Constitution Week Luncheon on Saturday, September 12, at the Twin Isles Country Club in Punta Gorda. Six of the seven chapters in the Great Southwest Florida Regents' Council were represented along with members of the Caloosa Chapter of the SAR. Nearly eighty daughters filled the dining room.

Native American Heritage Recognition Month was established by Congress in 1990 and is celebrated in November. Barefoot Beach recognized this by having their program speaker, Sidney Tatom, enlighten our membership on the awesome work of the American Indian Windtalkers and their contributions during WWII. Our November meeting was an exciting occasion for our newest members. Five of them were installed by our chapter Registrar, Jackie Pechette, with the help of our chapter Chaplain, Ann Denney.
