So, plan now to “attend” the 130th Continental Congress with your chapter friends, committee mates, and faraway friends!

Reserved Sections

Share This Special Experience with Your Family: Now everyone, even your ancestors, can be a part of this historic restoration! Denise Doring VanBuren has reserved a seat for her mother, Eunice Myers Doring (1927–2010), who made possible her membership in DAR. Won’t it be fun to celebrate our monumental restoration project by “attending” Congress with your DAR family members and friends of yesterday and today?

President General’s Project Benefactors and Patriots will receive special acknowledgment and seating in recognition of their generous support. Details were included in a special email sent to those who are eligible.

Pages of All Ages can purchase their cutouts HERE. Congress members who wish to sponsor a cutout for a Page may do so by selecting the drop-down option “Yes I want to sponsor a Page + $130”.

To sponsor a specific Page, you MUST type the Page’s name and email address in the cutout builder (when you upload your photo) in the notes section. If you do not indicate the name and proper email address, your sponsorship will be put into a pool to sponsor Pages selected by the National Page Chair. 

Note: All DAR Congress Cutouts will be removed from DAR Constitution Hall at the conclusion of the 130th Continental Congress and recycled. No DAR Congress Cutouts stationed in DAR Constitution Hall will be available for pickup. All purchases of “Additional DAR Congress Cutouts” will be mailed directly to your home to enjoy virtual congress with you!

2. No personal identification is allowed unless your photo includes a conference name badge.

4. When ordering a Cutout for your ancestors include the highest resolution possible as the photo will become blurry as it is enlarged.

7. Cutout orders placed in the same transaction will be seated together.

NSDAR reserves the right to reject any photo that it determines, in its sole discretion, violates these guidelines or is otherwise inappropriate including sizing of the image. NSDAR will not be obligated to provide the purchaser a refund if a submitted photo is rejected for any reason. All cutouts may be relocated or removed at the discretion of NSDAR should Daughters be present in Constitution Hall for certain “live” events during the 130th Continental Congress or for any reason deemed necessary.
